Description

Case 1 is used when 'dispatch flag' is set, but what does "the position where the event occurred" refer to when event is dispatched the second time?

Perhaps just returning pageX/Y would be fine after the initial dispatch?

Research direction
Investigate the current CSSOM View specification for offsetX/Y, focusing on the case when the event dispatch flag is already set. Consider whether the spec should clarify that pageX/Y should be used or if offsetX/Y should remain undefined. Review related browser behavior and any previous discussions in the CSS Working Group.
