[webkit-dev] On touch based device touch/click response looks a bit flaky

For now it is very port specific to adjust the clicking spot before
submitting it to webcore. We should/could generalize it though for all ports
would share the logic.

webpage on touched based device. In this situation the hit test does not
return a clickable node hence the click does not work(some times trigger the
click event to a wrong link which we can not fix) , but user feels that he
already clicked and device is not responding. Does any body has some thought
on improving this responsiveness , say ex. "by having multiple hit test on
surrounding area to find the nearest clickable element,if hit test fails
first time."
