Pointer events

This specification integrates various inputs from mice, touchscreens, and pens, making separate implementations no longer necessary and authoring for cross-device pointers easier. Not to be mistaken with the unrelated "pointer-events" CSS property.

Notes

Firefox, starting with version 28, provides the 'dom.w3c_pointer_events.enabled' flag to support this specification.

Partial support in IE10 refers the lack of pointerenter and pointerleave events.
Firefox support is disabled by default and only supports mouse input. On Windows only, touch can be enabled with the layers.async-pan-zoom.enabled and dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled flags
Can be enabled with the #enable-pointer-events flag.
Can be enabled under the Experimental Features menu.
element.releasePointerCapture(pointerID) is only partially implemented. Calling it after pointerdown does not result in boundary events (pointerover pointerleave) being dispatched during pointer movements.
Value of pointerevent.buttons is incorrect on pointermove events generated by touches. Is 0 but should be 1.

^* Partial support with prefix.
