I am proposing to add a new Agent capability for touch devices.

It would involve adding:
  static public final CapabilityKey CAP_TOUCH_SCREEN =
          CapabilityKey.getCapabilityKey("touchScreen", true);

To org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.agent.TrinidadAgent. And also adding the code to add this for the Andoid and iOS devices.

Any comments? Name of the key sound reasonable to everyone?

Thanks,
Andrew
I think that we want to consider the cases where the device supports both touch gestures and other input devices at the same time. So, it depends on the expected usage. Are consumers of this api supposed to use it to query whether the device could send them touch events, or are they expected to use it to determine whether the device is primarily touch? If it is for the first case, then I think we should expand the values to encompass the quality of the touch events. For example, is multi-touch supported? Anyway, we know from experience that we really don't want to ever add any boolean values.
