Hi.

The "smart tap" implementation I am working on would be also a
potential benefited from this TOUCH profile. See bug
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40197 [Enhance the hit testing
to take a rectangle instead of a point].

In summary: "Patch extends the hit testing system to work considering
a rectangular area as input instead of a point, when applicable. The
primary goal of this change is to provide mechanisms to more precise
tap actions by the users."

As a practical result, this rect-based HitTest implementation would
for free fix bugs like:

- [Bug 36111 - [Qt] Improve the interactions when clicking on links on
a touch screen]
- [Bug 40477 - [Qt] Unable to check and uncheck check boxes and radio
buttons using QtWebkit 2.0]

Since I have WebCore and now WebKit/qt implementation sides taking
place and shaping up, I would love to hear about the status of this
TOUCH/MOBILE profile approach.

Cheers,
