Re: [pointerevents] Should pressure be set to 1 or .5 on devices that don't report it?

Note taking apps. and annotation apps. modulate width with pressure, 
but over a very narrow range (minimum and maximum brush size aren't 
very different for an ink pen). If it's a pencil tool then pressure 
usually modulates both width and opacity, also over a narrow range 
(there's a minimum density that's already fairly dark, but the darkest
 still isn't a solid line).
Drawing apps. modulate width with pressure. More sophisticated apps. 
(maybe 20% of them? but also the most popular) do all sorts of cool 
stuff with pressure (width, opacity, spatter, press the charcoal into 
the paper texture, etc.)
