Re: [pointerlock] Is Pointer Lock feature complete i.e. LC ready? [Was: Re: [admin] Publishing specs before TPAC: CfC start deadline is Oct 15]

I'd like to point out that vendors are using additional failure criteria to
determine if pointerlock succeeds that are not outlined in the
specification. Firefox uses the fullscreen change event to determine
failure and chrome requires the pointer lock request to fail if not
resulting from a user interaction target. I think that Firefoxes
interpretation is less useful than Chromes, and that Chromes interpretation
should be amended to the spec since it seems like a fairly good idea.
