Synthetic mouse events are limited in that they cannot trigger some state like hover styles. Other things like focus/blur require special handling. It's also left to the synthetic event creator to synthesize compound events like over/out/enter/leave and their semantic as supplying the primitive mouse events (click, mousemove) doesn't automatically synthesize the others.
