I'd rather keep it as is, and add a button_pressure field for the 
floating point variant and change the semantic of the button field to be 
0 or non-zero with an unspecified non-zero point (but actually set to 
32K just so we don't break existing code). It's essentially how the 
mouse events work now anyway.
