ISSUE-27: createTouchList is not interoperable with existing implementations

createTouchList is not interoperable with existing implementations

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Touch Events v1 spec
Raised by:
Rick Byers
Opened on:
2012-12-06
Description:
Current WebKit implementations of touch events implement the createTouchList API as:
TouchList createTouchList (Touch ...touches)

But the spec defines it as:
TouchList createTouchList (Touch[] touches)

The two forms are not interoperable, which I believe violates a core goal of the V1 spec.

Does this matter?
