RE: [FYI]: [aria] APG guidance for touch devices (#60)

Yes, this information is true -- I presented on this at CSUN this year -- but only one person showed up to my presentation.  I added two other problematic controls to the list, spinboxes, and combo boxes as well.  Listboxes fared better in my testing.

This is an interesting thread on Github from an ARIA task force on touch gestures.

We need to address the problem of design pattern accessibility on touch screen devices. Touch ATs intercept all touch gestures. Only click/blur/focus are handled reliably - and they're not sufficient to support interaction with complex widgets like trees.

We should look to include guidance that surfaces these shortcomings, and indicate which of the design patterns will/won't work on touch devices with ATs enabled.
