Unfortunately, I think the properties listed (Transducer Serial Number, Preferred Color, Preferred Line Width, Preferred Line Style) may fall foul of this (particularly the TSN, the others could be used to at least infer/narrow down users). I think one thing that *would* be nice would be to ensure that the same transducer always gets the same pointerId across interactions (not the same as the TSN, but unique for the duration of the browser/tab session) P -- Patrick H.
