Re: [pointerevents] Define a low latency event that isn't occur in the document lifecycle

It is all about latency as you might need to wait like 16ms for a rAF call to come around. This is a very limited use case but has the potential to deliver a good user experience for apps that use it correctly.

That was my [initial approach](https://cdn.rawgit.com/dtapuska/lowlatency/master/index.html) where I specified an event listener option. 

@RByers said the problem with that approach is that it doesn't allow apps to reason about performance because it can be modified in a number of ways. For example if an iframe sets the option then all event listeners even 3rd party code on the main page (for usage metrics) starts getting executed more frequently where they only expected it at rAF time.
