Do we currently dispatch pointer events on desktop when the user
places a finger on a laptop touchpad? Or do we just dispatch events
when the user then moves the finger and thus move the on-screen
"pointer"?

If we only dispatch events to indicate pointer movement, then I don't
think simply extending existing interfaces will be possible.

Similarly, what happens if you touch multiple fingers to the touchpad?
Do we fire events as the second and third finger is placed on the
touchpad? If not, we similarly need additional events to be fired.
