In particular, when the hardware and OS supports it, it should be possible to receive co-ordinates for all the touch points on a trackpad. The most interesting difference here is that the co-ordinate are not directly connected with screen co-ordinates. I could imagine having an additional pointer type where pointerdown corresponded to putting a finger on the trackpad, and there were additional fields for trackpad co-ordinates (perhaps in some fixed range like [0,100]). I don't think it's critical that we need to flush out the details of this scenario now, but I'd like to keep it in mind as we define potential extensibility points. 80426 1 asirveda 2012-12-19 22:38:51 +0000 Closed on WG conference call dated Dec 18th 2012 http://www.w3.org/2012/12/18-pointerevents-minutes.html#item08 RESOLUTION: Mark trackpad bug 20218 as resolved Later for PE v2
