AmeliaBR has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as "Scripting chapter": == Remove un-implemented `pointer-events` "painted" rules for images == The [`pointer-events` definition](https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/interact.html#PointerEventsProp) contains detailed rules for "raster images" (presumably, any image embedded with `<image>`). A key feature is that an image should only be considered "painted" in areas where it doesn't have full transparency. There are two problems with this: - it provides access to per-pixel image data without any requirements for cross-origin security restrictions - none of the browser engines (as far as I can tell) implements it this way Based on my testing [CodePen demo](https://codepen.io/AmeliaBR/pen/qjEKXe?editors=1100) browsers treat an `<image>` element as interactive over its full rectangular region, regardless of whether the image is same or cross-origin. See https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/322
