Re: [pointerevents] Default width/height attribute for mouse

> If this value is going to have future utility, the OS or browser 
should not fill in numbers if it really doesn't know. Let a 
width/height of 0 or undefined represent a missing or unsupported 
value. Software at the application level can recognize that and 
provide a default.

So removing this, basically?

Incidentally, for Touch Events, I seem to recall that some browsers do
 the same "fake" estimation of `radiusX`/`radiusY` (and on some 
devices, use these values to fake `pressure` even on 
non-pressure-sensitive touchscreens). however, 
http://w3c.github.io/touch-events/#widl-Touch-radiusX seems more 
specific that UAs should simply report 0 here and not approximate 
anything.

I could live with that - but if we do this, it should be done very 
soon before there's a critical mass of sites/apps that rely on the 
"faked" geometry values
