On the spec issue, I am working to make the initial values explicit as you have 
suggested: https://github.com/w3c/webvr/issues/195

This has not caused any issues with interoperability, as VRFrameData's values 
are not considered valid until after a call to VRDisplay.getFrameData 
initializes them and returns true indicating it was successful.

Would this issue block release of WebVR in Firefox 54?
