Re: [pointerevents] Stylus eraser: should it be a new pointerType instead of a button state?

also, based on dave's other message concerning USI 
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pointer-events/2016JulSep/0293.html

> For eraser USI follows the “current standard” - there’s an Invert 
bit that indicates the tail transducer or erase side switch has been 
activated to indicate erase mode. Erasing action takes place when the 
tip is pressed while the Invert bit is set.

would this mean that instead of doing any special-casing with `buttons
 == 32`, we could instead add a new property `inverted` or similar, 
which is set when either the eraser switch on the barrel is pressed or
 the stylus is flipped, but still treat it as `pointerType=="pen"` ?
