Description

For performance reasons, user agents may choose not to send all pointermove events to the main thread. This optimization reduces the granularity and fidelity of pointer movements from the JavaScript's perspective, particularly for fast and large movements. PointerEvent.getCoalescedEvents() exposes the "held-back" events to the JavaScript as a list within a single pointermove event.

We've started implementing this and we don't currently have any concerns. I'll mark this as neutral in a week pending objections.
