Re: Web input brainstorming face-to-face notes

Right, that was definitely NOT the consensus.  Sorry for the sloppiness in
the notes.  I've updated the summary to make that point clear by adding the
following text:

Google proposes exploring extending touch events with all the good
properties of pointer events - no consensus on this (IE and Firefox teams
feel pointer events are still the better path)


I've also accepted your edits further down.  Hopefully this didn't result
in too much confusion - there were other notes like "This is controversial…
web devs want Pointer Events".  Feel free to propose other edits if it's
still not crystal clear.
