Presentation at next PEWG meeting 15 March 2023 (was Re: New API for new pen use cases.)

Hey all,

after I managed to miss this original email from Alexis, we've had a 
chat off-list.

Alexis is going to join next week's PEWG meeting to present the proposed 
new API and hopefully get some initial feedback.

Cheers,

Patrick
