I should mention that I didn't actually test this fully because I
don't have any PnP input devices. However, I did write some small udev
and hal programs to make sure I was grabbing the PnP ID correctly from
devices. Also, I did test the subsequent MatchUSBID patch, which uses
the same code except for the gathering of the IDs in the backend.

Thomas, I think you had a serial wacom tablet. Maybe you could take a
look at this patch or test it if you get a chance?
