Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Extending the PointerEvent with Unique DeviceId Attribute (Issue #880)

Hi @sahirv - thanks for sending this our way. We discussed in our call today 

The motivation (user need) seems to make sense.
  
We wanted to clarify - it seems there is no way to persist device IDs across sessions with the current design.  In your example, if your session is interrupted your color assigned to each device might swap. Is that the intention?

We're also concerned about the usefulness of this for devices that don't have a hardware ID - since it seems they wouldn't be able to be differentiated within a session?
  
For devices with a hardware ID, would the deviceId be the same as the pointerId? If so, maybe this could just be a flag indicating that the pointerId is stable? If not, why not?
  
Also can you clarify where this work will end up for standardization. It seems that this belongs in the Pointer Events Working Group - but that group is due to close off in a month. Is the intention to open up this group again for further updates, or do you envision bringing this to WebApps or some other working group?
