HTMLGeolocationElement initialPermissionStatus

This feature is discouraged — The value of the property can be miscomputed and the sole implementer, Chromium, intends to remove it.

The initialPermissionStatus property of the HTMLGeolocationElement API represents whether geolocation was previously granted, denied, or neither, when the page first loads.
