Re: [pointerevents] Value of button in a chorded pointerdown event

I know there was some debate over whether it was OK to a add new 
(negative) value to button, I'll try to dig up the references.

As for what should happen, it looks like IE updates 'button' to 
indicate the most recent button change (eg. on chorded button press, 
there's a pointermove event with button representing the new button 
being pressed).  

The [MouseEvent spec 
says](http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#widl-MouseEvent-buttons):
 "Note: The value of button is not updated for events not caused by 
the depression/release of a mouse button."

I don't have a strong opinion - I think speccing IE's existing 
behavior is probably fine.
