Summary: Should specify how to present d-pads/triggers as
buttons

Currently the spec requires implementations to express the set of controls on a
controller in two arrays: buttons and axes. All of the platform APIs I've used
expose a set of buttons and a set of axes, so this makes sense. However, there
are also frequently some controls that aren't exposed as either of those, so
some internal mapping is required. For example, d-pads are frequently exposed
as a "POV hat" (since the USB HID was written in the days of actual
flight-stick like joysticks).
I think we need to have some spec text that speaks to how to put these controls
into the list of buttons/axes so that the list of controls are consistent
across browsers (at least for the same OS+driver combination).
