Re: [pointerevents] Issue with compatibility mouse events and inconsistency with mouse pointerevent

While waiting for more informed comments on the impact on developers, 
here are my two cents.

So far we have seen two possible solutions here:
**Solution A** Maintain strict 1:1 mapping between pointer & legacy 
mouse events, but break the enter/leave/over/out consistency within 
legacy mouse events (as in @teddink's event sequence above).
**Solution B** Make legacy mouse events consistent among themselves 
even in a multipointer environment, but break the strict 1:1 mapping 
between pointer & legacy mouse events (as in @navidzolghadr's event 
sequence above).

IMHO Solution B is better because it breaks only a _suggestion_ in 
PointerEvent spec regarding "cross-spec" event sequences. On the other
 hand, Solution A breaks a behavior in an old spec which we may have 
to support forever (?).
