Our plan is to replace initTouchEvent with a constructor function (as in DOM4 Events), as this will be easier to implement in a way that works the evolving spec without breaking interoperability [1]. We were already having difficulty updating initTouchEvent without breaking compatibility with existing implementations [2][3]. We haven't added the constructor to the specification yet simply because no one wants to commit more work to this standard until the current patent issues are cleared up. Until then we are not sure whether the spec will survive at all.
