In the W3C Web Events working group, we are currently discussing whether the W3C Touch Events spec should be changed to be more compatible with current WebKit implementations.

Some old discussion about createTouch and initTouchEvent here:
http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/track/issues/17

New discussion about initTouchEvent will be tracked here:
http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/track/issues/19

In particular, we are wondering whether it is necessary or useful to have screenX/Y and clientX/Y parameters to the initTouchEvent method (since coordinates in touch events are properties of each Touch object rather than the TouchEvent object itself).  Are these parameters useful to authors using the interface, or are they just an artifact of how WebKit's implementation inherits from other interfaces?  If they aren't useful, is it possible to remove them from WebKit?

Feedback is welcome at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webevents/
