Are you aware of any sites today that treat no-radius differently from some reasonable default radius (eg. I could imagine some UI features changing slightly when it's known that radius information is available)? If so then we may need to consider some mechanism to determine pointer capabilities, but without a compelling use case it's probably not worth the complexity. > > > Thanks Rick. > > Jacob - I think we now have sufficient support for your proposal,so please implement it. > > -Thanks, Art > Done: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/pointerevents/rev/f8d79fb0835c Thanks! -Jacob
