Re: [touch-events] Why don't Touch objects have offsetX and offsetY properties like MouseEvent does?

I don't know anything about Pointer Events -- hopefully they end up 
having such useful things as `offsetX` and `offsetY`.

Why would a specification point out which browsers don't implement the
 specification properly? Isn't it up to the browser developers to read
 the specification and then follow it? Why would a specification 
exempt particular implementations from parts of itself!

Anyway, I suppose the question I'm asking in this ticket (why do these
 properties exist in MouseEvent but not Touch) is sort of answered. It
 appears the answer is that the spec is more a reflection of what the 
browsers already have, rather than a specification written with good 
standards and practices in mind which browsers are supposed to adhere 
to, and browsers just didn't add these properties to the Touch object.
 Is that fair to say?
