I feel that a better solution is for the compositor to send any event in
the surface rectangle to the client, but the client is allowed to
respond with a "that is in the transparent area", in which case the
compositor sends it to a lower surface.
The client certainly knows what shape it's surface is and the fastest
way to test if the pointer is inside it.
I very much do not like requiring clients to send great gobs of data to
the compositor. That is exactly what is wrong with current window systems.
