Event handling in clipping conditions

Hello SVG-WG! :-)


Following a thread [1] (which contains a test case) within the Batik's
mailing list, the doubt is whether event handling should occur
whenever relevant graphical content is under the pointer. Quoting
Thomas DeWeese:

  Neither SVG 1.1 or SVG 1.2 Tiny says anything about clipping
  with respect to when 'relevant graphical content is under the pointer'. [2]

I've crawled through the potentially relevant parts of the
specification [3] [4] and through the SVG-WG mailing list archive [5]
and also couldn't find an answer for this. Could some pointers be
provided and/or the WG pronounce about this (somehow tricky) detail?


Best regards,

  Helder Magalhães
