Only the Wacom serial series are documented.  It's well supported of 
course.  I had written a Wacom emulator for QEMU and it worked pretty well.

However, serial tablet emulation is just plain ugly.  The USB HID mouse 
emulation Just Works pretty much and has the added bonus of giving us 
more flexibility long term since we can add any HID related features 
that we want.

Tablets are a pain because they can be forced into relative modes.
