Hi, In the compatibility with mouse events section [1], the pointer events draft dictates when mouseenter and mouseleave events should be dispatched. However, I believe today only IE and Opera support these events [2]. Can we add an 'if supported by the UA' to the wording to make it clear that some UAs won't dispatch these events? Of course the wording around mouseover/mouseout (which are universally supported) should not change. Bigger picture, I'm curious to hear why 'pointerenter' and 'pointerleave' weren't included in the pointer event design for IE. I've heard some web developers say that they prefer the enter/leave semantics (non-bubbling) to the over/out semantics. Thanks, Rick [1] http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/pointerevents/raw-file/tip/pointerEvents.html#compatibility-mapping-with-mouse-events [2] http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/mouseover.html
