<p>This specification is an update to Pointer Events Level 1 which was shipped broadly only by Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge (though two further independent and mostly interoperable implementations were present in pre-release builds of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome when the Pointer Events specification was published as a W3C Recommendation).

Actually this isn't true :-(. We went to REC in Feb '15 because we had Edge and a pre-release version of Firefox for Windows Metro working. I didn't announce Google's intent to implement until March and we didn't land the first patch until April. Having a Level 2 spec with some breaking changes were (and are still) an explicit requirement for shipping in Chrome.

Maybe just change this to focus on Firefox only?
