Re: [pointerevents] Initial thoughts for gestures (#636)

Two points to clarify for further discussion: 
1. Gesture performed by what method? Touch (on screen), multi-touch (on screen), touch/multi-touch trackpads, pen gestures, mouse? 
2. Do you mean only on-screen gestures, or also kinesthetic gesturing, moving the device? A common case is switching from landscape to portrait; how supported (I say universal!) and at what rotation for how long does it take to flip? 

I've put thought into codifying these, have some direct (and meta-) research on gesture distances, rotation trigger angles etc. Happy to share with links, look up if there's even more recent academic research out there, etc.
