Errata for Touch Events: 5.4 List of TouchEvent types - touchmove's default action

Currently, the default action for touchmove in the table reads:

"Varies: mousemove (If point has been moved), mousedown, mouseup, click"

As it seems that mousemove is consistently sent by all (?) 
implementations, mainly for compat reasons (same as in the case of 
Pointer Events), and not really because a point moved or not (and my 
proposed non-normative list of events would also mention this), I'd 
propose (assuming the event list thing is ok) to harmonise this with:

"Varies: <code>mousemove</code> (for compatibility with legacy 
mouse-specific code), <code>mousedown</code>, <code>mouseup</code>, 
<code>click</code>".

Alternatively, it may be even more straightforward to just point to 
section 7 here and leave it at that?

"Varies: user agents may dispatch <a href="...">mouse and click events</a>"
