Re: [pointerevents] Pointermove should not require a hit-test by default

Oh yeah I've always expected "implicit capture" to take effect on 
contact only.  Personally I wish we had separate events for hover-move
 and drag-move, but it seems fine to me for hover-move to be  
never-captured pointermove (as spec'd today) and drag-move to be 
implicitly-captured (but explicitly re/un-capturable) pointermove.
