Description
Let's say the remote end receives two distinct action commands, one right after the other in the same session, that consist of a sequence of pointerDown, pointerUp on the same coordinates with a mouse pointer input source:
POST .../actions ... [pointerDown, pointerUp]
POST .../actions ... [pointerDown, pointerUp]
In effect, this generates two click events on the same element in quick succession, so my understanding is that a dblclick should also be generated. In other words, the first command impact the effect of the second in this case if they happen in a short enough interval.
Could anyone confirm that that's what is intended? Opinions? @ato @jgraham @whimboo

Research direction
Start by reviewing the WebDriver actions endpoint and the described pointerDown/pointerUp sequences. Determine whether consecutive POST /actions commands share enough input state to produce a dblclick, then document the agreed normative behavior; no file or test is named in the issue.
