Slight softening of language in the note for 5.1.2

"When two or more pointer device types are being used concurrently, 
multiple pointers are considered primary. For example, a touch contact 
and a mouse cursor moved simultaneously will produce pointers that are 
both considered primary."

In my limited testing (on a single Win8 laptop with touchscreen), I 
actually found that when moving both the mouse/trackpad AND a finger on 
the screen, the primary pointer kept flip/flopping from mouse cursor to 
finger. This may be due to hardware limitation, or because I wasn't 
moving them at exactly the same microsecond. Point is, I wonder if the 
language should be softened slightly:

"a touch contact and a mouse cursor moved simultaneously will produce 
pointers that are both considered primary"

change "will" to "may" ?

"a touch contact and a mouse cursor moved simultaneously may produce 
pointers that are both considered primary"
