iOS click.delegate not functioning without cursor: pointer

[stsje]

Seems to be a problem with click.delegate on iOS, if the element doesn't have the styling cursor: pointer.

plnkr show the issue, tested using the iPad simulator (ignore the repeats, they have nothing to do with the issue):

I've found what I think is a similar issue on stackoverflow. They say the event won't bubble all the way to body, if the cursor isn't pointer. They also mention other workarounds (such as using trigger for our case).

Is it even something Aurelia will do anything about? I expect many to run into this very same problem, and be completly puzzled by it, but doesn't have anything to do with Aurelia directly.

Maybe adding a small note about it in the docs could help?

I just spent hours pulling my hair out over this. It says in the answer to the above SO post that attaching the listener to the first child of body should work. Could that be a possible workaround?
