What if I as developer am simply listening to the "click" event in 
JavaScript (and not specifically to any "up" events). Am I passing this? 
Whether the browser/platform fires the click on down or up is outside of 
my direct control. In most cases probably yes (click only fired when 
finger is lifted again from touchscreen / mouse button released), but 
not something I can guarantee/control.
