Idea of passive event listeners is defined [here](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dictdef-eventlisteneroptions) in the DOM Standard. I think the best statement in that [other discussion you linked](https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/359#issuecomment-819828218) would have been "pointerevent listeners are _always_ passive". This is because (to guarantee browser responsiveness) a script can never `preventDefault` the browser behavior in response to a PointerEvent; the script has to declare a `touch-action` region instead. Perhaps the `touch-action` intro section deserve a link to the spec? Not sure though. -- GitHub Notification of comment by mustaqahmed Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/360#issuecomment-824328533 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
