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

--- Comment #5 from Ted Mielczarek [:ted] <ted@mielczarek.org> ---
I think we might be able to mitigate some of the "same controller doesn't map
correctly across browsers" issue with more careful spec language.

I suspect the largest difference is handling things like directional pads,
which are often represented as neither buttons nor axes (DirectInput and HID
often calls them "hat switches"). We could add spec language to indicate how
those ought to be mapped to buttons/axes which might be enough to smooth out
the cross-browser differences.

There's still likely to be differences across OSes, unless we get every
implementation using raw HID input on every OS, and I'm not sure if that's
feasible, or if there's a way around that.
