Re: First Draft, Touch Interface Spec

Janina,

Can we get James spec. in charter? It is a minor but essential change and
hopefully it won't take as long as last time. Without it, we won't have the
access that we need on mobile.

Just to be clear, normatively defining gesture events is explicitly out
of scope for the Web Events WG, per our charter:
   http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/charter/Overview.html

The low-level Touch Interface events spec does not and will not define
gestures.

My intent with the high-level (intentional/representational) events spec
is to coordinate with James in whatever manner we can, and hopefully we
can work on the same spec as part of a joint deliverable with the PFWG,
in which James (and Apple) participates.

Perhaps we should start looking at getting that spec in charter for PFWG
right away, to facilitate his work on it down the road?
