other than the Plasma::DataEngine apidox, not really. basically, assuming that 
the issues with regards to portability and future-proofing raised by others is 
sorted out, it should end up being implemented in the hotplug DataEngine so 
that a tablet looks like any other source.

it's not a library, so i wouldn't expect apidox there :)

that's an implementation detail. plasmoids shouldn't care about such things, 
just that these are items that are hotplugged (along with potential actions 
that can be taken on their behalf, if any; in this case there wouldn't be). in 
other words the DataEngine hides these discrepencies from plasmoids, making 
them easier to write as a result and more future proof: if/when Solid get 
tablet support, the DataEngine might change internally but none of the 
plasmoids using it will need to be touched.
