Re: [pointerevents] tiltX and tiltY aren't as helpful as just having altitude angle (#274)

The hardware reports xTilt and yTilt because doing floating point trig on an eight bit micro with no math coprocessor is very time consuming.
Some people want raw data so they can decide what processing and waht precision is necessary (if you only want altitude and not azimuth you don't need to compute both).
Sometimes you want xTit and yTilt (such as correcting coordinates based on tilt).
