Safari has been shipping with these methods (unprefixed) for several years now, and so have other WebKit browsers. Opera and Gecko for Android recently followed suit. I think that IE for Windows Phone may also support these methods already. Removing the create* methods might cause some interop problems. Existing content often checks "if (document.createTouch)" for feature detection. > Is it too late to replace these create* methods with actual constructors > by the way? Should we add constructors nevertheless? Adding constructors anyway might be a good idea, since it could help us step around incompatibilities with the existing implementations of initTouchEvent and create*, for example http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/track/issues/19 and http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/track/issues/20
