This would probably take it quite a few steps back in the discussion, 
but something more along the lines of:

2.5.3 Avoid accidental activation: for single touch and/or pointer 
activation, at least one of the following is true:

- activation is on the "up" event (either explicitly, or using the 
platform's generic activation/click event)
- a mechanism is available to allow the user to define which action 
(e.g. "down" or "up" event") triggers activation
- confirmation is provided, which can dismiss activation
- activation is reversible
- exception: when timing of activation is essential and waiting for the 
up-event would invalidate the activity
