Could you give us a pointer to the latest documentation or discussion on this? Is there any consensus emerging around an alternative? > Given that the semantics of your exception perfectly match JavaScript's built-in RangeError exception I strongly recommend using that over minting something new. We're open to changing this, though we might want to double-check that there isn't too much existing content depending on the shipping implementation in IE11. (We expect there is not.) However, we're not sure that RangeError is really a perfect match. Active pointerIds do not necessarily form a contiguous range. For example, 5 and 7 might be valid arguments to setPointerCapture, while 6 is invalid. It seems surprising for setPointerCapture(6) to throw a RangeError in that case. Is there any other existing DOM or ECMAScript error that is a better fit?
