That would be fine with me.  I don't think we should publish the v2 
draft as-is (without merging in recent changes from v1) because of 
potential confusion caused by unintentional deltas.  I think we should 
either merge the v1 changes and then publish v2 in its entirety, or 
publish just a list of intentional changes.

I don't have a strong opinion here.  How many of the v2 features 
actually have two implementations?  Gecko implements radiusX, radiusY, 
force, and identifiedTouch.
