APIs should avoid implying information to the developer something they don't have. I'm concerned that the nuances around `pointer: coarse` etc mean it'll frequently be misunderstood (and hence misused). In our wish to let web devs detect allthethings automatically we forget that these things can be achieved in other ways. As @detlevhfischer points, out a UI the developer thinks will mostly be used by those capable of fine accuracy can build it as such, yet make it accessible by ensuring it can be zoomed. Alternatively, a developer could design a touch-friendly UI with a switch to allow the user to opt-in to a mode requiring fine accuracy: e.g. a toolbar which can be switched to show more icons at once (but smaller). -- GitHub Notification of comment by stucox Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/690#issuecomment-260109605 using your GitHub account
