We have an old bug open to fix timestamps in all the events.

Since there is no explanation why this needs to be fixed
now specifically for touch events, cancelling review.

What is the bug #? Can't we either mark this as a dup, or make it a dependant on the other bug? What is the downside of landing this patch?

It is something I ran in to while emulating touch events on the desktop. W3C DOM specs say it should be milliseconds[1]. Calculating the interval between events becomes hard when not all events us the same format.

This should be resolved with bug #77992. So closing this for now.
