Description (last modified by )
"Pointer Events unifies the web event model for touch, mouse, and pen input. It is designed to address concerns with the Touch Events spec."
This microsoft-proposed spec is already implemented in IE10 and IE11, patches are about to land in Firefox and work is underway in Chromium. More importantly, Microsoft is providing a polyfill that allows to use those events today in all major browsers.
jQuery lacks only minor modifications to be compatible with these events and their polyfill:
- pageX, pageY and other mouseevent-related properties aren't passed on to the handler
- event delegation doesn't work with pointerenter and pointerleave
To clarify: this ticket isn't about making those events available in all browsers jQuery supports. The aim is simply to improve the compatibility of jQuery with the browsers that implemet them and with the Hand.js polyfill.

Please don't send a PR to add this to core. If you'd like to help with this, you can send PRs to https://github.com/jquery/jquery-pointer-events which builds on top of Polymer.
We need to iterate outside of core's release cycle.
