I guess this interface would work, but there's something a bit unsatisfying
about it (e.g., the vagueness of the "periodically call ..." above).

Maybe it should be something like:

interface BatteryMonitor {
  StartObserving(BatteryMonitorObserver observer);
};

(Maybe StartObserving() would have some parameters to help specify something
about observation frequency; these could be added later.)

(Maybe it shouldn't even be BatteryMonitor, but just "Battery".)

That said, I'm not opposed to this interface as it stands now.

As for the observation frequency, I think that in this CL we aim at keeping the
existing contracts while transitioning from the old IPC mechanism to mojo IPC.
I'd be happy to discuss this separately (I'm sure Tim would be interested too).

I hear your point about vagueness of the interface, yet I'm not sure if
introducing the StartObserving bit would be worth it at this point - before we
have additional parameters to pass there's no functional change or value, right?
