This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
It begins by stating that it is describing the low-level touch APIs which are actually defined in Section 14.2.1.2. It then describes only method, tap, which is an alias for click as defined in section 14.3.1
We decided that high-level actions should be implementation details and that they should not explicitly call down to the low-level actions in the specification. Instead we will probably define some common alogrithms.
