We're keeping an eye on the latest W3C draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/pointerevents/), and will make every effort to keep our implementation up-to-date with it. > the best way to provide feedback on the code itself is through a patch > on WebKit bugzilla. I've opened a bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105463 We'll post updated patches to the bug as we go, and we'll make sure to watch the style guide and contributor guidelines. Feedback welcome.

The best way to provide feedback on a spec like this is through the W3C, and the best way to provide feedback on the code itself is through a patch on WebKit bugzilla. Our web site explains very well how to contribute code to WebKit and you should have a look. When adding new features we usually announce it on webkit-dev to see if people are generally interested in the feature. I would say that you have already done so with this email. Whether people are interested or not, I would suggest creating a bug and uploading your code so that anyone interested can give you some initial feedback on your work so far.
