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 this section opens with "Pointer capture allows the events for a particular pointer to be retargeted to a particular element other than the normal hit test result of the pointer's location." It's implied, but possibly worth adding that this also applies to compatibility mouse events? "Pointer capture allows the events for a particular pointer (including any compatibility mouse events) to be retargeted to a particular element other than the normal hit test result of the pointer's location."
sgtm, thanks Patrick!
Fixed as suggested https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/pointerevents/rev/397d36ddfb7d
