Additional words for 2.5.1 Pointer Gestures

[mapluke]

The European team STF536 discussed 2.1.1 and suggested adding some words to read:

All functionality which uses multipoint or path-based gestures for operation can be operated with a single pointer @@without a path-based gesture@@, unless a multipoint or path-based gesture is essential.

Rationale: Since the statement says “OR path based” -- this applies to multipoint and (single point) path based gestures. So this should say that the solution is not multipoint and not path based -- unless either or both is essential.

(Official WG response)
Thank you for your suggestion. We agree that your addition clarifies the text of SC 2.5.1 Pointer gestures. Path-based gestures are often carried out with a single pointer (as in drag-and-drop) so including an explicit reference ("...can be operated with a single pointer without a path-based gesture") leaves less room for misunderstanding.
