Description

Highlight, as currently defined (https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/master/highlight/events-explainer.md#interaction-with-pointer-capture), cannot receive implicit or explicit pointer capture. This is largely because there is no currently known scenario that requires pointer capture on highlights, and also because implicit pointer capture for highlights could be complex, particularly in terms of how it would interact with element pointer capture.

If there actually are scenarios that would benefit from Highlights being able to take pointer capture, what are those and do they require implicit or explicit capture?
