Description
We have tests in WPT that assert a non-zero pressure when pointerdown gets fired for touch/pen input, but nothing actually defines how much pressure they should have; it seems sensible to assert that the digitizer has actually noticed something (and thus has non-zero pressure).
While this arguably falls into the "Perform implementation-specific action dispatch steps", it would probably be better to define the default pressure if not specified in WebDriver.

Research direction
Start by reading the WebDriver specification sections covering pointer input and implementation-specific action dispatch, then review the WPT tests that assert non-zero pressure for touch and pen pointerdown events. Done means the specification clearly defines the default pressure behavior and the affected tests have an unambiguous basis.
