I definitely agree we need this API. On phones it would prevent the phone from turning off, and on desktop it would prevent the screensaver from appearing.

For installed webapps I definitely think we could enable the API without any warnings etc.

Likewise I think it would be ok to do for pages that had gone into fullscreen mode.

For plain (non-fullscreen'ed) webpages I feel like we could almost do the same. We could do it if we at the same time enabled a mechanism which allowed the user turn off the disable-screensaver mode. Or we could simply show a permission doorhanger, that might be fine too :)
