I believe the plan was to treat single-touch (touch-begin and touch-end)
gestures as the source of contact information, and the whole
combinatorial thing can be used to cross-link between N-contact events
and individual contacts.

On second thought, that sounds hard from an application perspective and
from an implementation perspective.  I'd rather just keep the current
way of sending contact information as attributes of a gesture event.

Does this answer your question?
