Re: [w3c/manifest] Add id member to manifest (#988)

> An attacker will likely not have to search its entire user space. We have to assume that 1) the attacker knows exactly which users it hasn’t heard from in a certain time window, 2) the attacker will be able to bucketize its user space on device info, and 3) any fingerprinting available such as IP address, time zone, language settings, and user agent information can be used to further shard the user space.

So I guess these attacks can simplify probably to "The attacker would be able to make 1 guess a day at the id". There could be further mitigations around "if the origin association file or manifest file update X days in a row, increase update time" etc. But I guess the first question would be - is 1 guess a day too fast?
