This is not an issue. The SWI provided by the Eesox pressure sensitive 
tablet and used by the ArtwWorks pressure tool and PhotoDesk has 
become the de facto standard, so I would expect any future 
implementation of pressure sensitivity to simply provide the 
established interface (for instance, this is what the Paradise 
Software implementation did).
