Description
Pointer events get a pointerID property. The ID must be unique per pointer, and the Pointer Events spec has some requirements, but WebDriver BiDi lacks specific text on how to assign ids to virtual pointers. Basically the rule should be that pointer ids are handed out in order starting from 0, except that 0 and 1 are reserved for mouse-type pointers.

Research direction
Start by locating the WebDriver BiDi pointer-input specification and reviewing its existing pointer-event text alongside the Pointer Events requirements. Update the specification so pointerId allocation for virtual pointers is explicit, then confirm the resulting wording covers uniqueness, ordering, and the reserved mouse-pointer ids.
