Better recognition of pointer events

At present when you attempt to add an event handler for a pointer event, it is not registered correctly, since it is not recognised as a native event:

   myElement.addEvent('pointerdown', myFunc); // myFunc is never called on pointer down

I intend to implement this myself, which will pave the way for adding pointer support to mootools.more => Drag and Drag.Move, which I also hope to implement.

Interesting. Have you tried to implement it already? Not sure how we can make cross-browser properties like tilt and pressure be consistent.

So far I've just made sure that it's recognised as a native event in Element.Event.js and ensured that the page/client objects are passed through in DOMEvent.js. Is there anything else that I should be considering?

I noticed that DOMEvent acts as some kind of meta-event or decorator. Should I be setting tilt/pressure etc as properties directly, or can people simply access it via the native event i.e. the DOMEvent.event property?
