Re: [pointerevents] Should "click", "dblclick" and "contextmenu" events be PointerEvents? (#100)

discussed on PEWG call today.

concerns about potential compat problems (including switch from integer to fractional coordinates in PE), and how to treat keyboard-generated events (invent new `pointerType`? just leave it empty/null?). historical issue of `click` etc being mouse event but triggered by keyboard too, more a generic `activate` event...

Chrome might make an experimental web feature where `click` etc are upgraded to PE and see what the potential compat impact actually is. at same time, discuss with UIEvents folks about best way forward.
