            Bug ID: 26918
           Summary: DeviceID description needs to say that it's cookie
                    linked
           Product: WebRTC Working Group
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media Capture and Streams
          Assignee: public-media-capture@w3.org

The WG has concluded that the DeviceID is an identifier that is unique per
origin, but can be reset (scrambled), and that it makes sense to have this
scrambling happen in line with cookies: If an user clears cookies for an
origin, the DeviceIDs should also be re-scrambled.

The spec needs to reflect this.
