[Bug 25202] [gamepad] "id" property is unclear how its established

--- Comment #4 from Brandon Jones <bajones@google.com> ---
In an ideal world every joystick would have an appropriate mapping, but that
simply can't realistically be the case. For instance: In Chrome at the moment
giving a gamepad a standard mapping involves getting the gamepad into my hands
and letting me make C++ changes to Chrome. Obviously that's not scalable, and
is guaranteed to exclude much of the long tail of gamepads not made by
Microsoft or Sony.

Having an ID allows users a basic method of capturing and using custom JS
mappings, which is a worth cause in my mind.
