Very late reply, but... I would certainly find some usecases
interesting.

For strips, I see this making sense (although precision would be hard
when the contact is first made), I guess what matters in those contexts
is the point where the contact is lifted.

I'm wondering though wrt wheels, values 0 and 71 are physically too
close, but would make a big difference if absolute values are used
there.

Cheers,
  Carlos
