Oh, we should definitely just have the mousedown/mouseup scenario be  
something people write on their own. We can't burden the recorder with  
every possible use case, and this is a fairly advanced one.

I do think the larger issue of events not propagating we might be able  
to solve in the recorder, and be able to record more events. The js  
frameworks/libraries in question are only getting bigger and seeing  
larger adoption.
