Description

This should probably return "move target out of bounds" or something, but at the moment the spec algorithm doesn't account for the possibility of an element without bounding client rects.

Research direction

Start by locating the actions algorithm that determines the origin and review how it handles elements without bounding client rects, including display:none elements. Compare the current behavior with the proposed “move target out of bounds” result and identify the specification behavior that should be made explicit.
