A few comments:

1.  I'd use "preciseClientX", instead of "accurate", "float" or "double" would
even be better, except I think those might get more and more precise over time.
 We'd probably try to expose as accurate values as the device supported, which
would be doubles on 64bit.

2.  How would one register for these?  Would normal places you would get mouse
events give you these instead?  Probably not.  Could we implement these in
webkit and test them using an addEventListener("-webkit-tabletmoved", foo,
false); scheme?

3.  If these aren't part of normal mouse events, what do the names of the
corresponding tablet registrations look like?  tabletMoved, tabletOver,
tabletOut, etc?

4.  If these aren't part of normal mouse events, I think normal mouse events
would be dispatched on a throttled basis, when tablet events were coming in. 
Tablets send way more events than normal pointing devices do.
