Unless we implement the ability to set the default css _NOW_, I would
prefer to not couple different things (ability to change default-css
and abiltity to move devices around). Otherwise we might need to change
things again if we find out that our plan does not work out.

So what about having
- a cssid-unrestricted machine property that shows that devices can move around
- later a default-css machine property when we actually implement that

?
