I can only provide comments about this from a Carbon perspective.

Receiving mouse events outside ones window is definitely something valid
to do. e.g. it's common to listen to mouse moved events outside the
window. This is typically accomplished by have a "mouse event handler" at
the application level.

What type of mouse events are you interested in?
