Yeah, we've been meaning to write up that document, it's been taking some time.
We've worked with the privacy WG to figure out an acceptable solution for fingerprinting. Importantly: it takes a bunch of consent to get to the point where a website will know what hardware a user has (you basically have to start a session). The API that produces capability info _without_ starting a session is extremely coarse grained ("vr support"/"ar support"/"none"), and may also have a consent prompt depending on the situation in the UA. Note that most mobile phones running Chrome have "ar support" now so this is not really a signal of affluence.
