While it's not quite clear what's going to happen to this spec in
the long term given that there's some opposition to the events part
(although not 'touch-action') from Google (related to whether the
API requires certain touch operations to communicate with the main
thread when they don't want it to; a problem other implementors
including us don't seem to have), given that it seems like a better
(than Touch Events) API for developers and we've been involved in
its development, I voted in support.
