[Waba-spec] Events

[Sean L. <se...@cs...>]

On the Palm or WinCE, is it possible to have key events or timer events 
occur between pen up and pen down events?  As in:

... DOWN DRAG DRAG DRAG KEY KEY DRAG TIMER DRAG DRAG UP ...

On the Newton this isn't possible, because drag events are actually 
handled by polling the system for drags until you get a response.

The reason I ask this is that if the user just holds down the pen on 
Waba for the Newton, without moving it, the whole system goes into a 
wait loop until he moves or lets up; having games freeze isn't very fun.

So I was thinking of proposing either:

	- extend the definition of "penDragged" to assume that if the user
	  doesn't drag the pen within some N milliseconds of the previous
	  event handling, that another penDragged will get called with the
	  same coordinates -- will this break any apps you are aware of?

	- add a "penStillDown" event that's called every N milliseconds the
	  pen is down.

I prefer the former; it's cleaner.
