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.
