* [http://www.w3.org/TR/touch-events/ W3C Touch Events]
* [http://www.w3.org/TR/touch-events/ W3C Touch Events] (shipped by Safari, Chrome, IE Mobile, Firefox for Android, Firefox OS)
* [http://www.w3.org/TR/pointerevents/ W3C Pointer Events]
* [http://www.w3.org/TR/pointerevents/ W3C Pointer Events] (shipped by IE Desktop, IE Mobile)
** touch-action is part of the Pointer Events spec (shipped by Chrome, IE Desktop, IE Mobile)
 
Notes:
 
* Just implementing Touch Events and touch-action (without Pointer Events) would allow efficient Pointer Events polyfills, and other developer benefits (including ability to improve responsiveness of touch UIs).  This is what Chrome is currently doing.
* Implementing APZC on desktop would allow desktop Firefox to share much of the Touch Events / Pointer Events / touch-action code with Firefox OS.
** Similarly, porting Firefox for Android to the Gecko APZC and meta viewport code would allow increased code sharing with Firefox OS.
