RE: User interaction events

Hi Anne,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! I think it's exactly the kind of overarching concern the TAG can help with.

In general, it sounds like this is a pretty big task, and it's going to be hard to make progress on the larger project of fixing UI events in the near future. But for now, perhaps what would be helpful is for us to reach out to relevant specification editors when we see them falling into these sorts of traps, e.g. in the pointer events case, and give them some guidance on how to avoid common underspecification pitfalls---in short, ask them not to make the problem any worse than it already is.

What does everyone think? In particular I think we should consider how we can help pointer-events as soon as possible.
