Some kinds of events should be always stopped at the shadow boundaries.
See http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/raw-file/tip/spec/shadow/index.html#events-that-are-always-stopped

The Shadow DOM spec does not require adjusting mouse coodinates. I
think every shadow trees in one document *share* the same x-y
coodinates.

That should happen for a synthetic event. I am working on that at
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102681.

I don't have a clear idea about what should be cloned when crossing
boundaries. That's unclear for me.
