Suggestion. pointer-events: disabled

[ExtAnimal]

Or some similar property value name.

disabled would mean no events at all. No event from ancestor elements. No :hover behaviour either. Unreactive.

none means that pointer events "see through" the element and just start their bubble and hover behaviour from the parentNode.

For some applications, you just want an element to be unreactive. Similar to adding the very first listener and calling stopImmediatePropagation on the event.
