Can I get the iOS6 IDFA from Javascript?

iOS6 introduces the IDFA "Identifier for Advertising" for iOS6 devices.

Can this ID be retrieved from Javascript running in Safari on an iOS6 device ? Or is it an app-only feature ?

As far as I can see, it's an app-only feature. It doesn't seem to be exposed in Safari.
