Hi all, I apologize about the HTML format of my original message. Here it is again in plain text:
In the new Pointer Events Specification http://www.w3.org/Submission/2012/SUBM-pointer-events-20120907/, the contact geometry of a PointerEvent is represented only as a { width, height } which implies a geometry that can only be an axis-aligned rectangle (or ellipse I suppose). What about hardware which supports more accurate contact geometry information? For example, with the current specification, I cannot easily tell if a user puts a finger on the screen and then rotates the finger, even though my hardware supplies this information.
Can more information be added to more fully specify the contact area? At a minimum, adding a rotation angle would allow for the geometry to not be aligned with the screen.
Brandon
