Re: [pointerevents] Pointer events & disabled form elements

I don't see why we'd want compatibility with mouse events here given 
they're *weird*, and Firefox does something different (well, better) 
anyway.

We should *always* fire pointer-based events regardless of element, it
 should be the developer's decision how to react to it. Why shouldn't 
I be able to drag & drop a disabled button? 

The `click` event is different, as it's related to "activation" rather
 than a pointer, so it makes sense that the element's state is taken 
into consideration. But even then I'd rather it was explained within 
the event system. As in, a disabled element could 
`stopImmediatePropagation` in the bubbling phase of a click event, 
meaning developers could still use the capturing phase if they wanted 
clicks.
