 			<section class="note">The <code>touch-action</code> property only applies to elements that support both the CSS <code>width</code> and  <code>height</code> properties (see [[CSS21]]). This restriction is designed to facilitate user agent optimizations for <span>low-latency</span> touch actions. For elements not supported by default, such as <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> which is a <span>non-replaced inline element</span> (see [[HTML5]]), authors can set the <code>display</code> CSS property to a value, such as <code>block</code>, that supports <code>width</code> and <code>height</code>. Future specifications could extend this API to all elements.</section>
 			<section class="note">The direction-specific pan values are useful for customizing overscroll behavior.  For example, to implement a simple pull-to-refresh effect the document's touch-action can be set to <code>pan-x pan-down</code> whenever the scroll position is 0 and <code>pan-x pan-y</code> otherwise.  This allows pointer event handlers to define the behavior for upward scrolls that start from the top of the document.  <p>The direction-specific pan values can also be used for composing a component that implements custom panning with pointer event handling within an element that scrolls natively (or vice-versa).  For example, an image carousel may use <code>pan-y</code> to ensure it receives pointer events for any horizontal pan operations without interfering with vertical scrolling of the document.  When the carousel reaches its right-most extent, it may change its touch-action to <code>pan-y pan-right</code> so that a subsequent pan operation beyond it's extent can scroll the document within the viewport if possible.  It's not possible to change the behavior of a pan in the middle of an operation.</p></section>
 			<section class="note">Disabling some default touch behaviors may allow user agents to respond to other behaviors more quickly.  For example, with <code>auto</code> user agents typically add 300ms of delay before <code>click</code> to allow for double-tap gestures to be handled.  In these cases, explicitly setting <code>touch-action: none</code> or <code>touch-action: manipulation</code> will remove this delay. Note that the methods for determining a tap or double-tap gesture are out of scope for this specification.</section>
-			<p>When a user touches an element, the effect of that touch is determined by the value of the <code>touch-action</code> property and the default touch behaviors on the element and its ancestors. To determine the effect of a touch, find the nearest ancestor (starting from the element itself) that has a default touch behavior.  Then examine the <code>touch-action</code> property of each element between the hit tested element and the element with the default touch behavior (including both the hit tested element and the element with the default touch behavior).  If the <code>touch-action</code> property of any of those elements disallows the default touch behavior, do nothing.  Otherwise allow the element to start considering the touch for the purposes of executing a default touch behavior.</p>
