Re: [pointerevents] How removing target in pointer event handler affects compat mouse event target

Since that's not the easiest thing to follow with all the output, I'll
 paste the output for the sanity of everyone else that looks at this 
issue (please do this in the future):

```
green pointerdown green
grey pointerdown green
grey mousedown grey
grey mousemove grey
grey pointerup grey
grey mouseup grey
```

> The difference is that if the pointer event handler reparents the 
target and then removes it from the document, the existing wording 
seems to imply that the mouse event target should be the new parent. 

I assume that by "reparents the target" you mean if the node is 
appended to a different element. Moving the node requires two steps: 
removing the node, then inserting the node. The spec already makes it 
clear that the path traversal is based on the DOM at the time of 
removal.

I see nothing that indicates the event should start propagating 
through the new parent.
