Re: [pointerevents] Dispatch of pointerover+pointerenter and pointerout+pointerleave in relation to related mouse events is not clearly specified (#279)

The specific event sequence mentioned in the spec is only a suggestion (couched in MAYs and SHOULDs) per the section 11 intro https://www.w3.org/TR/pointerevents/#compatibility-mapping-with-mouse-events

> The following describes an algorithm for how a user agent MAY map generic pointer input to mouse events for compatibility with this content. [...] The compatibility mapping with mouse events are an OPTIONAL feature of this specification.

The suggested order of events in https://www.w3.org/TR/pointerevents/#mapping-for-devices-that-do-not-support-hover is further inside a note, which in this spec is treated as non-normative.
