Panel 5: Input
summary
Browsers already standardize an HTML5 input event to capture text agnostically, and libraries like the FastClick polyfill exist because mobile taps still suffer a 300ms delay for double-tap-to-zoom; FastClick works but is a hack. Pointer Events are proposed to replace click/touch/mouse, z coordinates for 3D are debated (Leap maps awkwardly), MS implements ms-touch-action, Chrome exposes --touch-events flag and region tracking; use RequestAnimationFrame to avoid scroll jank.
