Out of curiosity, what browser do you need to support that doesn't support pointer-events? Internet Explorer 10? No longer supported by the vendor, other than for Windows Server 2012 which likely won't be used by your user. Opera Mini? What is your usecase? Opera Mini works very differently to other browsers. You can select the text whanever it's visible on the screen, even if it's covered by another element - as for this browser, the layout doesn't really exist. Disabling forms isn't as necessary, as Opera Mini waits for a script to finish once you press something.
