I went ahead and checked in a change that includes the text proposed 
earlier [1]. This commit puts the Note in a new non-normative section 5.2.

Changeset: <https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webevents/rev/6f2c52cd50f6>
Spec: 
<https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webevents/raw-file/v1/touchevents.html#touchevent-implementer-s-note>

Sangwhan, Rick - for the purposes of the LC comment tracking, please let 
us know if this is acceptable or not, and in case it is not, please 
propose text that will address your concerns.

-Thanks, Art
