Interesting thought, I'm not sure if PointerEvents would be handled correctly with a trackpad that would have traditionally used as Mouse input either. Seems like the developer would have to know how the trackpad is being used more than anything else since mouse/touch are very different behaviors.

yep, we imagined this would be surfaced as a new event.pointerType value, allowing code to specifically target the device if desired.
