Re: [w3c/touch-events] Why don't Touch objects have offsetX and offsetY properties like MouseEvent does? (#62)

The elephant in the room is Apple. They are not involved in this group (and there was some history of them trying to oppose the Touch Events Level 1 spec on IPR reasons), and even if all other parties involved agree that it's a good decision to add `offsetX` and `offsetY` and all other niceties from traditional mouse events, the likelihood of Apple adding anything from here to the behavior of Safari would be low / purely coincidental...and then you'd have two separate behaviors in the wild: what Chrome/Firefox/Edge/etc do, and what Safari/iOS does...
