Are there finite element method setups that provide error estimates in the $W^{1,\infty}$ norm (i.e., bounds on $\|u'_h - u'\|_\infty$)? Which families of elements can be used for implementing them?

This has been solved on scicomp.se (TL;DR: Chapter 8 of Brenner and Scott's Mathematical Theory of Finite Element Methods, $\|u - u_h\|_{W^1_\infty} \le C h^{k - 1}\|u\|_{W^k_\infty}$).

(I'm posting this to prevent this question from being bumped up because it has no answers).
