Quoting from
Pointer Events Level 2
W3C Proposed Recommendation 16 October 2018

This version:
   https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/PR-pointerevents2-20181016/
Latest published version:
   https://www.w3.org/TR/pointerevents2/

Abstract:

The features in this specification extend or modify those found in 
Pointer Events, a W3C Recommendation that describes events and related 
interfaces for handling hardware agnostic pointer input from devices 
including a mouse, pen, touchscreen, etc. For compatibility with 
existing mouse based content, this specification also describes a 
mapping to fire Mouse Events for other pointer device types.

Status of This Document:

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its 
publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of 
current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical 
report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at 
https://www.w3.org/TR/.

This specification is an update to [PointerEvents] which was shipped 
broadly only by Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge (though a 
further independent and mostly interoperable implementation was present 
in a pre-release build of Mozilla Firefox when the Pointer Events 
specification was published as a W3C Recommendation). Level 2 includes 
editorial clarifications, new features and minor breaking changes that 
address certain limitations and concerns that have been raised about 
aspects of the design, in an effort to enable wider browser adoption.

This document was published by the Pointer Events Working Group as a 
Proposed Recommendation. This document is intended to become a W3C 
Recommendation.

GitHub Issues are preferred for discussion of this specification. 
Alternatively, you can send comments to our mailing list. Please send 
them to public-pointer-events@w3.org (archives). An implementation 
report is available.

The W3C Membership and other interested parties are invited to review 
the document and send comments to public-pointer-events@w3.org 
(subscribe, archives) through 13 November 2018. Advisory Committee 
Representatives should consult their WBS questionnaires. Note that 
substantive technical comments were expected during the Candidate 
Recommendation review period that ended 07 June 2018.

Publication as a Proposed Recommendation does not imply endorsement by 
the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, 
replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is 
inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.

This document was produced by a group operating under the W3C Patent
