Re: [pointerevents] Pointer events & disabled form elements

Wow, this is crazy - I was not aware of it.  Jake's [blog 
post](https://jakearchibald.com/2017/events-and-disabled-form-fields/)
 does a good job articulating why this is bad (breaks some drag and 
drop scenarios).  @tkent-google @garykac @dtapuska @mustaqahmed 
@patrickkettner @smaug---- WDYT?

Unless we can find some compelling reason why this weird behavior is 
important, IMHO we should just try removing it from blink (for pointer
 and mouse events).  If that causes non-trivial breakage than we can 
fall back to adding in (and speccing) a mouse-event-specific hack 
while leaving pointer events intact.  But given that Firefox doesn't 
have this weird behavior, I suspect we can get away with just 
eliminating it entirely.
