Yes, I think we would have to go back to WD. I agree that correcting
the spec (and Gecko) to match WebKit is the right thing to do, as long
as we think it's worth the effort.
For what it's worth, when we were considering changing
createTouch/createTouchList for Touch Events v2, we were not able to
find any uses in the wild (outside of test code). We also planned at
one point to drop these methods in v2 and replace them with DOM4-style
constructors. But for now, having an interoperable createTouchList
would definitely be beneficial for use cases like automated testing
(especially since the v2 work is abandoned).
