Issue Title Within SLO On maintainers' plates for Time left Time past SLO
#572 Browser compliance (especially re: click)
#599 MouseEvent should have DOMString pseudoElement property like TransitionEvent
#600 Proposal for UIEvent "role" property
#573 Define that click doesn't fire on disabled elements
#574 Firing of click event after mousedown/up has two different definitions
#588 Reduce scroll performance impact of `wheel` listeners
#575 Element for dblclick when dblclick results of two clicks on different elements
#577 Can any code be run between mouseup and click handlers?
#578 Activation behavior and click interaction is not specified
#610 Different mousedown behavior between Firefox and Chrome/Safari
#611 Need clarification for when mouseenter/mouseleave should be dispatched for moved elements.
#612 mouseover/mouseout events can repeatedly causing infinite re-layout in some buggy content
#593 Change DOM_DELTA_PIXEL to be intended scroll distance instead of exact scroll distance
#594 `wheel` event listeners cannot prevent default scroll only along specific direction
#582 Differentiate single click event and double click event
#616 Specify the field values for non-pointer `contextmenu` event
#617 `MouseEvent.buttons` explanation of `contextmenu` event should mention about the platform dependency
#583 > Overall, Firefox is the most consistent. Ctrl+click and 2-finger-click should act the same, but Chrome and Safari are not. Safari should send auxclick for non-primary mouse clicks.
#618 New `contextmenu` event definition missing bypass
#597 Define behavior for wheel event group when the initial target is mutated
#598 Define behavior for wheel event group when the scroll is handed off
#629 Inconsistency on cancelability of dbclick
#620 [MouseEvent algorithms] Boundary event dispatch needs to be tied to native down and up events
#520 [PointerEvent algorithms] Remove 1:1 correspondence between Mouse and Pointer boundary events
#521 [PointerEvent algorithms] MouseEvents are created from PointerEvents
#522 [PointerEvent algorithms] Dispatch of click, auxclick and contextmenu events
#584 [event-algo] Remove "6.10. send click event"
#525 Add `handwriting` keyword to `touch-action` CSS property
#621 Mandate a minimum dispatch frequency for continuous UI input events
#622 Button order for MouseEvent.button vs MouseEvent.buttons very easy to miss
#623 Clarify `mousemove` event target if preceding `mouseout`, `mouseleave`, `mouseover` or `mouseenter` event listener removes the `mouseover` target
#550 Clarify what happens if capturing element is changed in a `lostpointercapture` listener
#625 Mention about `<area>` of image map in somewhere, which may be a target of mouse/pointer/touch events
#559 PointerEvent WPTs that may need attention
#560 Should the `click` event be retargeted when a <menuitem> is selected via mousedown-drag-mouseup?
#563 Clarify touch/pen click target
