Patch
Darin has several reservations about supporting runtime-enabled events, and it seems this patch is unlikely to fix websites in practice, correct? I think this requires at least discussion on webkit-dev, and possibly with W3C and other browsers.
If we are going to enable touch events at runtime, we should at least try to match the behavior of other engines. I am not sure, but I strongly suspect other engines are not checking whether the device uses a touchscreen, else the broken jQuery that makes a binary choice between using touch events or mouse events would not exist. Perhaps for compatibility, we should not be checking for whether a touchscreen is present, but for whether a non-touch input devices exist. E.g. if a mouse is plugged into your touchscreen computer, it's more important for the mouse to work than for the touchscreen to work.</pre>
