I'd like to ask the TAG for help in ensuring user interaction events get better defined. There appears to be some pushback from editors and some general reluctance as to what needs to be done with regards to properly defining the flow of a thing happening on the system, to one or more events getting dispatched on a node in a tree. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2014JanMar/0064.html has some notes on what it would take to upgrade UI events in general. We need to tie together the system UI tasks (not really defined), a browsing context's event loop, hit testing (undefined), CSS box tree (not really defined), the DOM tree the boxes point to (mapping highly unclear), and the sequence of events that end up being dispatched (not clear). http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pointer-events/2014AprJun/0012.html has an example of me trying to persuade the editor of the Pointer Events specification to do a better job of this. In particular at the moment the interaction between pointer events and mouse events is less than ideal. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
