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

> 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. 

Yes. Touch Events in particular is not a very well designed event 
model in many ways. The spec is a documentation of existing behavior. 
There are multiple technically sane solutions to fix all of these 
issues and more, it's just that there are political complications 
which obstruct the WG/CG from doing so.
