This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Currently 11 reads "Authors can prevent the production of compatibility mouse events by cancelling the pointerdown event." Following on from https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24921 I wonder if this should be tweaked slightly to "Authors can prevent the production of certain compatibility mouse events by cancelling the pointerdown event." Also, instead of having the two same notes in 11.1 and 11.2 about "NOTE Mouse events can only be prevented when the pointer is down. [...]" I now wonder if instead of having those two, a single one should just be placed exactly after the "Authors can prevent..." paragraph itself. (sorry, I know I'm the one that pushed for those two notes in the first place)
Works for me if there's consensus in the group.
Changed as suggested and discussed on 3/11 telecon
