Re: [pointerevents] Would pointerType === 'pen' events participate in HTML5 Drag & Drop?

Yeah thanks, pushing this because creating synthetic `DragEvent`s is out of the question. 

Setting `dataTransfer` poses a security risk which is AFAIK the only way to transfer data between a draggable and it's dropzone.

So while we can simulate `MouseEvent`s from `PointerEvent`s (which partly fixes buggy behaviour in Chrome 59), there's no way to simulate a `DragEvent`.

In any case, DnD should be working the same on the browser level, negating the need for such 'hacks'
