| A [[user agent]] must dispatch this event type to indicate when a TouchPoint has been disrupted in an implementation-specific manner, such as by moving outside the bounds of the UA window. A user agent may also dispatch this event type when the user places more touch points (The coordinate point at which a pointer (e.g. finger or stylus) intersects the target surface of an interface) on the touch surface than the device or implementation is configured to store, in which case the earliest TouchPoint object in the TouchList should be removed.<ref name="w3c_v2"/>{{rp|§5.9}}

In the [[W3C]] draft recommendation, a <code>TouchEvent</code> delivers a <code>TouchList</code> of <code>Touch</code> locations, the [[modifier key]]s that were active, a <code>TouchList</code> of <code>Touch</code> locations within the targeted DOM element, and a <code>TouchList</code> of <code>Touch</code> locations that have changed since the previous <code>TouchEvent</code>.<ref name="w3c_v2">{{cite web|title=Touch Events version 2 - W3C Editor's Draft|url=http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webevents/raw-file/tip/touchevents.html|publisher=W3C|access-date=10 December 2011|date=14 November 2011}}</ref>
