Comment:

 Wow that was fast. On by default in Firefox 11 already.

 Looks like they gave us a good option for concealing charging time:
 "Returns positive infinity, if the battery is discharging or if the
 implementation is unable report the remaining charging time."

 So we should probably just always return that for chargingTime and
 -infinity for dischargingTime.

 What the hell represents "positive infinity" in a loosely-typed language
 though, I wonder...
