I agree. Interestingly, the USB 2.0 spec lists 10 ms as the lower bound for low-speed interrupt endpoints in section 5.7.4, but Table 9-13 says that the value can go down to 1. > The most general way to do so is a database of known bad devices which > get their descriptor completely replaced by a good one.

I'll write a patch to set out-of-range values to 32 ms, which seems like a nice default.
