Description Harald Alvestrand 2014-09-29 08:05:30 UTC 
The WG has concluded that the DeviceID is an identifier that is unique per origin, but can be reset (scrambled), and that it makes sense to have this scrambling happen in line with cookies: If an user clears cookies for an origin, the DeviceIDs should also be re-scrambled.

The spec needs to reflect this.
