Re: [pointerevents] Add deviceProperties.uniqueId to PointerEvent spec (#495)

@annevk how does this proposal look to you?

I've just got one question. I'm wondering if there may be properties that will be added in the future that are hardware specific but not dependent on the presence of a hardware id. I don't have access to the [USI](https://universalstylus.org/) spec, but what if certain styluses have the capability to support [customization](https://github.com/darktears/pen-customizations) but not supply a hardware id? For example, the pointing device may be identified and communicated with based on the pointer id of that stroke. I hope I'm not inventing a problem where there is none; but it just seems like this has the potential to not serve the initial purpose of this pivot - which was housing all device specific properties.
