+    <p>
+      To help users identifying devices they care about, every
+      device can have direct child <code>alias</code> element
+      which then has <code>name</code> attribute where users can
+      store identifier for the device. The identifier has to have
+      "ua-" prefix and must be unique within the domain. Additionally, the
+      identifier must consist only of the following characters:
+      <code>[a-zA-Z0-9_-]</code>.
+      <span class="since">Since 3.9.0</span>
