The current draft spec has this for pointerType:

ISSUE 2
Should this be a string rather than enumerated constants? What about
extensibility?

We need to resolve this.  In particular, for scenarios like bug 20218 (where
you could imagine different vendors adding different extensions, and certainly
want websites to be able to opt-in to understanding new types of pointers) I
think a string is preferable to an enum.  Also a string seems more consistent
with the DOM event model.
