Link highlighting and setting the active state with touch have similar properties - eg. with ENABLE(GESTURE_EVENTS) they're both triggered via GestureTapDown/GestureTapCancel.  Maybe it would be nice if link highlighting was just a default special case for touch of active state - i.e. we the default active state for a div was a combination of CSS rules (and maybe shadow DOM) that drew the highlight.  

Lots of potential  issues here (perf etc.) but worth thinking about long term.  See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96060#c16 for more discussion.
