Understood. I just fear that adding support for (and ratifying) a new
CSS @-block will be slower than the integration of gesture support
into browsers on Metro/iOS/Android/etc. platforms.
It would still be useful for you to collaborate on finding good
defaults that all browsers can agree to, in terms of
gesture-to-link-relation mapping, which can go into code or the UA
stylesheet once @navigation is implemented, and those defaults
advertised so people can avoid overriding them with identical values!
