Re: Recommendation for where to post Pointer Events primer

I would generally be in favor, but on the other hand, there are no non
prefixed implementations, not even nightly builds. Even though this is on a
standards track, it has not reached an initial milestone with more than one
implementation yet. WebKit does not seem to be in favor of this method, for
example.
I guess Mozilla is in favor, because one of the editors is one from Mozilla?
