@marcoscaceres I got a chance to look at it again after a while, and now it seems to me we can significantly clarify the current dependence to HTML if we simply drop the "engagement gesture" section and fix the existing 5 references by:
1. saying `requestPointerLock()` is a [Transient activation-gated API](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/interaction.html#transient-activation-gated-api), and
2. adding the non-normative exception currently mentioned in the "Note" about "no engagement gesture is required".

This change would make the text more precise, and as a bonus point, we will be able to land this PR independently from whatwg/html#6818.

What do you think?
