Better to check what IE does. If it has ongot/lost* event handlers on Window and Document, 
the spec should probably be changed.

ongot/lostpointercapture was moved to GlobalEventHandlers in https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/pull/158. Chrome and Safari both has ongot/lostpointercapture event handlers on Window and Document. So close this as INVALID.
