Thanks for this information Vincent!
Additional specification discussion:
Artillery started a discussion "Problems with mouse-edge scrolling and
games" in public-webapps Feb 21 2014 raising the topic of limiting
pointer movement to a rectangular area. This is addressed in the spec
FAQ for why it is postponed from the initial version, and in the
recent thread the result was a call for prototype. I don't have
resources to build it out, though would accept others doing so. If
this was done rapidly and Mozilla was interested in incorporating
changes as well there's the possibility that Pointer Lock spec should
be updated to include clipping. Otherwise, I believe a follow up
specification at a later time is more appropriate, keeping Pointer
Lock narrow and moving to complete the specification.
Given the spec's implementation status today, perhaps it would be "best"
to postpone new features and to plan for a potential followup spec.
Regardless, I think it is important to document new and/or additional
features and requirements beyond what is now specified. The IDB people
document their feature requests for IDB.Next in [IDB-Features]. Perhaps
it would be useful to have a similar document for PointerLock.
If you want to document new features/requirements [and I recommend it
;-)], besides using a wiki (f.ex.
https://www.w3.org/wiki/Webapps/PointerLockFeatures), other options
include using Bugzilla (I think WebIDL uses a "v2" value for the
`whiteboard` field) or a document in the spec's repo.
(If you want to use a wiki, I'm willing to bootstrap it.)
