Description

Only the UA really knows where layers are placed in 3D space.
The author (or JS framework) can guess where they are but this might be brittle.

What is the best way to provide input events? Should non-projection layers become event targets?

Review the surrounding WebXR Layers design discussion and establish a resolved behavior for authors and JavaScript frameworks. Done means the input-handling rules are clearly specified and the event-target behavior is settled.
