There is no pointer event specification, just fyi. The previous one was scuttled by Apple's patent claims before it left Working Draft status. However, the first Working Draft of the new Pointer Events spec[1] was published about a month ago, and rapid progress is being made. It's built on Microsoft's submitted spec for the pointer event system they created for IE10 and looks like it will be better than the proposed spec it's replacing.
If not, then boo Google, are you becoming the new MS?
Time will tell
