I agree. getting something sensible in the kernel prevents us from replicating the "one X driver per device" hilarity. Once we have that support in the kernel, we can look at how to get it to applications in a sensible manner. Real multi-touch is hard, and there are a few roadblocks that I'm not looking forward to.
