We don't need this.  Look at WebCompositorInputHandlerClient - it has didHandleInputEvent() and didNotHandleInputEvent(bool) already

What I meant was exposing the distinction to classes outside WebCompositorInputHandler and Client. The client makes that distinction, but when the ACK IPC is send to render_widget_host, we only have the boolean. My plan was to start sending this enum with the IPC(ViewHostMsg_HandleInputEvent_ACK) instead of a bool, so we can make decisions based on whether the event was not handled or dropped on the browser side.

WebCompositorInputHandlerClient is implemented in chromium (specifically in content/renderer/gpu/compositor_thread.cc), so you have access to all the information you need there and can do whatever you like (such as do something different than just sending the ACK).  You don't need any changes on the WebKit side.

I chatted with leviw@ and we agreed that we need to send a didHandle/didNotHandle/dropped tri-state from the WebKit thread as well, to have a fallback for the case where the compositor-thread rects are wrong.  So this will need some kind of API change, though maybe instead of exposing a tri-state like this we could add a new WebView method to hit test for touch handler existence:

bool hasTouchHandlerAt(const WebPoint&);

The interface should move I think, but otherwise looks good.

> +    virtual bool hasTouchEventHandlersAt(const WebPoint&) = 0;

This should be on WebWidget - that's where handleInputEvent() is
