Description
Currently, the only reference specification for pointer-events is in SVG.
Which brings up the odd situation of people filing issues on SVG about how to handle pointer events propagation for CSS boxes and HTML iframes: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/744
Since every interactive user agent I know of supports at least the basic values of pointer-events on arbitrary CSS layout boxes, can we please write up a spec for that? Presumably in CSS UI Level 4. (CSS UI 3 is Rec)

Research direction
Start with the existing SVG pointer-events specification and the linked SVG issue about propagation for CSS boxes and HTML iframes. Determine the scope and behavior that should be specified for non-SVG elements, presumably in CSS UI Level 4. Done means an agreed specification covering the supported pointer-events behavior.
