[Bug 24923] What should happen to the mouse events if pointer event listener removes the target from document or hides it?

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24923

--- Comment #12 from Patrick H. Lauke <redux@splintered.co.uk> ---
JR: "Do we want spec text to describe this fix up behavior?"

I'm all for making the spec as explicit as possible to avoid surprises and
possible implementation divergence...so I'd favor something in the spec. I'd
propose something like:

- add a break in the first paragraph of section 11, so that "Unless
otherwise..." beings a new paragraph.
- at the end of the "Unless..." sentence, add something along the lines of "If
the target of the pointer event is removed from the document before the
relevant compatibility mouse event is fired, the compatibility mouse event MAY
be fired on the parent of the original target."

Admittedly a mouthful and a bit awkward, but hopefully clear enough?
