Up to now, I have only vaguely considered that, and there are some other things pending. However, if many users will be missing that option, my priorities might change ;-) Would "edge areas" be an alternative for you? synaptics(4) has an option for defining edge zones. A touch that starts there does not trigger pointer movement, tapping, and scrolling as long as it hasn't left the area. The input driver in wsmouse(4) has a similar mechanism, what's missing up to now is a decent way to configure it, but it can be done, and it might be a way to mitigate the effects of accidental touches. Of course, whether it could help in your case depends on your habits.
