Our current input model is of a logical keyboard and logical pointing device, but these can be physically instantiated in a number of ways (e.g. typing by voice recognition, pointing by keyboard keys). We have concepts like 'focus' and 'enter characters'. This is important because, among other things, accessibility relies on finding alternative physical ways to meet the logical interface. I am a little concerned that we are having this discussion somewhat piecemeal at the W3C, as well (various groups are discussing 'touch' and I am not sure they have the same model).
