The driver specify that 'hover click is the default parameter for external tablets' while 'hold & tap is the default parameter for Tablet PC' and I can switch between those two settings easily. > > I believe it's out of the scope of this specification to define what kind of emulation drivers can do. I agree that would be out of scope. I also imagine this custom behavior comes in the form of the driver injecting a *mouse* right click (or on Windows, potentially just WM_CONTEXTMENU). As a browser, we may not even know that it's coming from a pen in this case. Based on this comment, I think there's no change that needs to be made to the spec. Let me know if you disagree. -Jacob
