Resending (sent too soon!) With my implementer’s hat on, I see little value in the change for end developers. I don’t have an issue with changing our implementation, but it may be a while before I can get this fix prioritized just given its near zero impact. Arguably, if someone is specifying “manipulation pan-x”, then they do not properly understand the meaning of the values are on a failure path. In that light, it’s perhaps better that the rule fail outright signaling to the developer in testing that they’ve made a mistake. But, web APIs are, in general, more forgiving. So I see no real harm in allowing “manipulation pan-x” as it’s clear what touch behaviors the developer is asking for. Either way, I think arguments are weak since this is something >99% of developers will never encounter. So I’m happy to go with the consensus of the group on this one.

Do you have any data on this? I can query the google search index for sites that specify them together in CSS if you think there's a chance we'd change the spec and IE behavior if it was found to be sufficiently non-breaking. If we can be confident that it's unlikely to break anyone, then we might as well make it right - no? I.e. we should only apply the "I can live with it" test if there's some reason to live with it :-) The results I have from Bing yielded no known usage of "touch-action: <something> manipulation;" or "touch-action: manipulation <something>;". That only covers statically defined properties; but in my experience with compat and touch-action this has shown to be a sufficient measure. This also assumes my regex fu was strong. :-) touch-action:([\s]*[a-z-]+[\s]manipulation)|([\s]*manipulation[\s]+[a-z-]+)[\s]*;
