Moving Touch Events v1 to Recommendation

Hi, Matt, Sangwhan–

I preparation for transitioning the Touch Interface specification to 
Recommendation status, I've made the two changes in the spec that Art 
lists below.

Since you are editors of the specification, we'd like your explicit 
approval to make this change at this stage. Could you please review the 
specification and reply with your approval, in the next couple of days? 
It should only take you 5 minutes or so.

Regards-
-Doug
