* continue harmonisation work PE spec (now that it includes mouse and wheel)


# continue harmonisation work PE spec (now that it includes mouse and wheel)

Patrick: from previous meeting, we agreed that using those tables we 
inherited from mouse/wheel for pointer as well is also a good idea

Rob: we talked about having one big table / possibly generating other 
tables from it

Patrick: what i've done so far is shorten the tables (removing 
everything that was repeated like clientX etc for every event) and i 
ported these naive tables to pointer events

<smaug> Just noting here. I think .relatedTarget and .composed should be 
defined for each event type

<flackr> I suggest we move click and other mouseevents which are 
pointerevents into the pointerevents section and mention in the 
mouseevents section that they are now pointerevents

Patrick: broad changes beyond that is i shortened the headings for all 
PE event types (not to be "The blah event" but just the event name 
itself, like mouse/wheel do)

Patrick: and I moved the "Examples" section (in current spec section3) 
to the end before security/privacy

<flackr> Bubbles for enter/leave is probably false

Patrick: so probably what we can do is do a bit of live debugging/coding 
now to make sure the tables i added (copy/pasted) are correct

<mustaq> https://w3c.github.io/pointerevents/#attributes-and-default-actions

Patrick: [added composed to all tables again, fixed up values for 
bubbles/cancelable/composed where needed]

<smaug> (https://mozilla.pettay.fi/composed-events-dispatch.html case C 
shows the composed + relatedTarget affecting event propagation, in case 
someone is interested in that :) )

[further live changes to things]

Patrick: if we continue work on this next time 
https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/tree/patrickhlauke-harmonise-with-ui-events

Patrick: thank you all, let's continue with this (and in the meantime, 
feel free to grab this, open it locally, and hack away at it)

ACTION: continue work on harmonising the spec
