Description Jacob Rossi [MSFT] 2013-04-18 23:29:58 UTC 
Contradicts the note:
"The pointerId selection algorithm is implementation specific. Therefore authors cannot assume values convey any particular meaning other than an identifier for the pointer that is unique from all other active pointers. As an example, values are not guaranteed to be monotonically increasing."

Feedback raised multiple times on the list. Example:
