Just a theoretical question at this stage, to see if I understand this right (not got around to making a test for it yet): am I understanding correctly that it is possible, with pointer capture, to grab and consume any pointers regardless of *where* the pointer got into the active buttons state? i.e., it's possible for a script to just check, say, at window level when a pointerdown happens (to get the pointerID), and then set the pointer to be captured on some element (perhaps even a visually hidden one), effectively swallowing any further pointer activity until pointerup or pointercancel is fired? Not saying it's good or bad, but just checking that I got this right...i.e. the element that then receives the captured events does not have to be the one that was initially "pointerdown-ed" ?
