Response from the Working Group
================================
PATH means the "path taken by the users movement". With pointing
devices, the path you take to a button does not change the result if
you press the button. However, if you are drawing a freehand line, you
get a much different shape depending on the path of your movement.
Same for a watercolor painting on your computer.
