Re: [pointerevents] Default width/height attribute for mouse

There were 2 points that were mentioned regarding possibility of a 
mouse not having a width=height=1. One is some kind of a "fat mouse" 
and the other one is in the high DPI systems that the point is event 
smaller than 1,1. So the question I'm having here is that why would 
ask the browser to do any guessing at all for the width and height of 
a device that doesn't report any? Basically if an app really cares 
about such a thing they should know that they device is not reporting 
that information and they make their own guesses instead of us making 
a guess for them and that guess might not be good for them in the 
context of their app. However, I understand that Edge is shipped with 
that width=height=1 in this case and I'm not sure if it is possible to
 change that.
Note that here if we set height=width=1 for a typical mouse or even a 
pen that doesn't report such information we are making it the same as 
a mouse or pen that can report width and height and they are reporting
 1.
