I'd propose adding a note to "10. Pointer Capture" in the introductory section,
after Fig 4: (slightly altered from my original suggestion)

"NOTE: browsers MAY implement their own implicit pointer capture behaviour -
for instance, for touch interactions, a browser may automatically capture the
pointer as part of a tap on a native form control (such as a button) to improve
user interaction (allowing some finger movement to stray outside of the form
control itself during the tap action). As part of this behaviour, browsers MAY
fire <code>gotpointercapture</code> and <code>lostpointercapture</code> events,
even though no explicit pointer capture functions
(<code>setPointerCapture</code> and <code>releasePointerCapture</code>) were
called."
