Re: [pointerevents] Clarify whether touch contact must fire a `pointerrawupdate` event (#373)

philosophically though https://w3c.github.io/pointerevents/#the-pointerrawupdate-event

> A user agent MUST fire a pointer event named `pointerrawupdate` only within a secure context when a pointing device attribute (i.e. button state, coordinates, pressure, tangential pressure, tilt, twist, or contact geometry) is changed.

when a touch "appears" on a touchscreen the button state is not really **changed**, as the pointer only just appeared and wasn't there to begin with before the finger was on the touchscreen. so as a layperson, i wouldn't expect a `pointerrawupdate` event to be fired there as it's not a change as such, but an appearance of a new pointer that yes happens to have a particular button state. unless it's splitting hairs too much?
