How about a common term that we can define and propagate in all of those 
places (four of 'em, at least):

picking region
effective region
interaction region
effective interaction region
mouse region
pointer region   [W3C "Events" generalizes mouse to pointer]
effective pointer/mouse region
other?

"picking region" is currently used 3.2.1.1, but isn't the most suggestive 
term, when applied to screentip (mouseover) and the more generalized events 
stuff in Ch.5
