One thing that's come up when thinking about design approaches recently is about the necessity to position content such that it isn't obscured when using a touch screen. Imagine a graph which on a desktop shows a label for the current position giving the raw value on hover adjacent to the cursor. Now, on mobile, we can do this using touch events instead of hover. *However*, it doesn't make sense to show the label adjacent to the touch location because it'll be largely obscured by the pointing device. I'm unconvinced it really makes sense to use pointer: coarse for this, though maybe it can be implied that any coarse pointer will obscure content? /Geoffrey
