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

(adding this here from discussion thread)

Here’s the Windows requirement that the pen leave and re-enter in 
eraser mode - from:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt604235(v=vs.85).aspx

While the pen is within detection range of the digitizer, but not in 
contact with the screen, activation/deactivation of the erase 
affordance should be honored. However, direct transitions between the 
"Pen is in range" and the "Pen is in range with intent to erase" 
states are not supported, and in this scenario, the pen states must 
always transition via "Pen is out of range."
