Re: [pointerevents] Pointer events & disabled form elements

The pointerover and mouseover events are also important for things 
like tooltips where you'd like to notify someone why a button is 
disabled. jQuery has received complaints about this behavior for 
years.

We actually removed some of the restrictions we had on delegated 
events, which gives inconsistent cross-browser results but at least 
lets it work right in some browsers.

I doubt there would be big compat impacts by allowing mouse-related 
events other than click, especially considering how many people have 
seemed to want the behavior over the years.
