Changes

The [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/ SVG specification] introduced the '[http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/interact.html#PointerEventsProperty pointer-events]' property to provide SVG authors with more control over which parts of an element can intercept pointer event, and under what conditions. This document discusses 'pointer-events', and how it might work in HTML (HTML authors have been asking for 'pointer-events' like functionality since forever).

The pointer-events property determines following table summarizes which areas of an SVG element can intercept a pointer event, and under what conditions. The following table summarizes , for all the values of pointer-events in SVG 1.1 values, plus 'auto'.

The syntax of the lines in the column on the right might seem like they could be alternative values for pointer-events that users could use. However, they're pretty verbose, and its not clear that authors want a lot of granularity(yet).
