[pointerevents] MouseEvent.screenX/Y coordinate space is not clear (#607)

NavidZ has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents:

== MouseEvent.screenX/Y coordinate space is not clear ==
@bokand @smaug---- @garykac @RByers @dtapuska @eirage 

It is not very clear what the coordinate space of screenX/Y attributes is.
Is that the correct that is it in css pixels? In other words if screenX/Y of the events is increased by 1 does that mean it has moved 1 css px? So if I have a full screen browser and I set the left/top of a div to the screenX/Y of events should it follow the mouse pointer (as in [this example](http://output.jsbin.com/mesodifoxo))?

Note that I don't care about the offset as you can move the browser window in the screen. I care about the scale of each pixel.
