I have not changed my mind. HIDP is Bluetooth specific and should stay
there. Especially since we are currently discussing changes to make
things also work over Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), but that is a complete
different topic and it just started.

HIDP is just a transport driver in the end. And I heard that the Apple
Magic Trackpad actually does work nicely. Never tried it by myself.
