Hey all, On www-style [1] I've suggested adding an elementsFromPoint() method to cssom-view that returns all the elements under a particular point sorted in paint order. It was suggested at our face to face meeting last week that I should ping webapps to see if you all had feedback on the idea. This list of elements is something that people construct for themselves when they want it, stepping through the list by deleting the top element or setting pointer-events to 'none', then reconstructing the stack. I am assuming that a browser's ability to determine this list will be an essential part of fully supporting 'pointer-events:none' in CSS. If this change passes muster I have a further proposal for using this list of elements (mentioned in [1]), but this first step is useful by itself. I'm wondering whether anyone here has comments on adding elementsFromPoint() or would be interested in implementing it. Thanks, Alan [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013Jun/0261.html
