There is a PR to add privacy in security considerations: https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/pull/193 I've pointed one of the Editors to this thread already (hopefully they will scoop up what's already been mentioned here and add it as appropriate). People should feel free to add more comments to that pull request with their concerns. Like any open source project, web standards are a community effort and al that :) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
