Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Captured Mouse Events (Issue #872)

As such, they are outscoped, and we don't have concrete plans to extend the API to support them. (However, it seems like it will be possible if desired in the future, although likely subject to some additional permissions prompt.)

Instead of outscoping (is that actually a word?) & having [bare surfaceX/Y attributes](https://screen-share.github.io/captured-mouse-events/#webidl-284551610) on the event, why not have single attribute that contains an array of x,y pairs? That way you don't have to do any work up-front for any of the N != 1 cases, but you're future-proofed for those cases if they do arise.
