The events "work" in the sense that they're properly exposed to V8,
but nothing but test_shell will currently deliver them. I don't feel
that it's safe to assume that a user will be interacting with an
application exclusively via touch events just because their browser
supports touch events. There are devices currently on the market that
support both touch input and pointer-driven input (most convertible
tablet formfactors, like the s10-3t for instance), and it would be a
bad user experience if they loaded a page, detected their touch
capability and then refusing to respond to mouse events.
