Fairly common problem (table layout > grid/flexbox/etc) with little demonstrated impact in blocking browsers from moving the web forward.
Since most of your proposed touch event extensions are features of pointer events and just about all involve API surface expansion in a similar fashion as pointer, how do you see the support burden as different between:
