Yes I believe our proposals are identical.

I was saying that the other proposal for "pels" will require clients to 
round the returned events to get the actual pixels (otherwise they will 
get slightly different positions depending on the scale of their 
display, which can cause havoc in things like CAD). This rounding will 
throw away high-resolution information.

Our proposals should return integers for pixels and therefore the 
clients will not have to do this rounding.
