Ah, Jonathan beat me to it while I was still drafting my reply. In essence, this is it. Until some mythical future where we have a rich set of device and input agnostic events that signify "intent" are available (along the lines of IndieUI events - which are not supported anywhere even in their current state, if I'm not mistaken - but much more expanded to cover a wider range of intents), there's basically only tap/click that can be guaranteed (from an author's point of view) of working consistently across different mobile OS/mobile browser/touch-AT configurations.
