Are there any web browsers that make pen/stylus specific events (such as pressure) available to the DOM, similar to Microsoft's RealTimeStylus API?

Is there any standard DOM interface for this? If not, are there proprietary extensions that allow this, perhaps using a plugin?

According to the current APIs, you can't retrieve pressure. However, there is a browser plugin from Wacom.

DeviantArt Muro seems to use it.
