Re: adding an informative note re touch events?

I'd be happy to see some note to this effect - it doesn't sounds like it's
on the list of things explicitly outside the charter of the group:
http://www.w3.org/2012/pointerevents/charter/.  But I doubt we want to go
into much detail here (probably more the responsibility of the touch events
community group).
