1. Let's not chase every browser's UA change. UAs _suck_ and I'd rather
leave ours alone now that we fought through the debate.

2. "Touch" is way too ambiguous. I have no desire to add "Touch" to our
smartphone UA as well - just for completeness. Using "Touch" alone for
tablets or desktops with touchscreens is not interesting to me.
