Re: [w3ctag/spec-reviews] Browser Fingerprinting Document (#38)

One other thought about the active / passive / cookie-like split in section 3.  It seems that perhaps being cookie-like is orthogonal to active vs. passive (e.g., cookies are cookie-like and passive, while indexed db is cookie-like and active).  If that's the intent, maybe it should be clearer that cookie-like isn't mutually exclusive with active and passive.

I also wonder two other things:  whether cookie-like features actually should be considered part of "fingerprinting" (as stated in section 1), and whether supercookies that aren't clearable should be part of the cookie-like category or should instead just be considered bugs (in spec or implementation) of a more severe category.
