What specific section or headline is this issue about?

none value description

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Issue #33633 was closed after a Note block was added to the none value section, but the main description still contains the word "never": "The element on its own is never the target of pointer events."

This remains inaccurate. The pointerenter and pointerleave events can still fire on a parent with pointer-events: none when the pointer moves into or out of a hit-testable descendant. The Note block acknowledges this, but the opening sentence contradicts it by using "never".

The main description should be softened to say "generally not" instead of "never", consistent with the Note already on the page.

What did you expect to see?

The opening sentence of the none value description should be updated from "never" to "generally not", making it consistent with the Note block already on the page that correctly describes the pointerenter/pointerleave exception.
