Re: [pointerevents] ‘Logical’ values for the ‘touch-action’ property (#505)

@aphillips apologies for the late reply. We've discussed this topic - specifically the question of whether or not we should try and get this into Level 3 or defer for the next version - in our last meetings

* https://www.w3.org/2024/07/17-pointerevents-minutes.html#t01

While initially we were going to try and squeeze it into Level 3, the one concern that was raised last time was the fact that introducing such a new feature (that had, up to this point, been only in a very rough draft) at such a late stage would jeopardise going to REC with Level 3 (to make sure we have actual implementations), which has already been delayed more than anticipated due to a similar late-stage addition a few months ago.

In addition, it was noted that authors would likely use the directional `touch-action` in combination with `overflow`. It appears that currently, logical values for `overflow` are only in draft in their respective spec, so the general feeling was that merging https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/pull/496 into the future/next version (Level 4, or potentially "living standard") is not going to be a critical blocker right now for authors.

However, the plan is to focus on this aspect as soon as Level 3 is in REC, and the hope is that Level 4 won't take as long to come to fruition after that.
