Hi, The latest CSSOM View editors draft proposes a modification to MouseEvent (and others) to enable fractional co-ordinates: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/#extensions-to-the-mouseevent-interface. This is most valuable in high-dpi scenarios (i.e. essentially all tablets/phones and now many laptops) to provide more precise co-ordinates to applications, so that they can result in maximum smoothness for slowly moving elements. I've suggested (https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24095) that if they're going to modify MouseEvent for this, they should modify Touch at the same time. Without this, for example, it's impossible to implement scrolling in JavaScript that is as smooth as browser native scrolling. I don't think there's any good reason for Touch to be 2nd class to mouse in this regard. Thoughts? Rick
