Separating the scoring adjustment out of bug 91894 (search cancel button is hard to activate with a tap gesture even if touch adjustment is enabled).

Looks good, with the test-case any future improvements to the distance method can check if they truly are better.

[Allan Sandfeld Jensen]

Btw, nice improvements to the touch-adjustment test-functions. I think we should soon try to collect some of the best versions of the helper functions for touch-adjustment test-cases into a small helper file and use them more consistently; but that is a task for another bug another time.

I think we do not need the term "distance" here anymore, but I am out of good suggestions now.

It is still a distance score with 0.0 being a perfect hit and 1.0 being a glancing touch; however, I can see your point.  Calling it a "cost" function seems a bit too generic, but might be appropriate.  Not so keen on using a term like goodness of fit (but throwing it out there anyways), as it suggests strong statistical implications that are not strictly valid.

Does hybridCostFunction, sound better than hybridDistanceFunction?  We can certainly revisit the naming.

The function used to bestZoomableNode is not a distance either, it is infact also some weighted hybrid. I orginally used the mathematical term "metric" (a function with distance like properties) for these functions, but using 'distance' even if slightly wrong seemed to be more accesible to other developers.

Please get rid of the XHTML'isms.

This is wrong but probably harmless. Flat tags does not work in HTML.

> LayoutTests/touchadjustment/small-target-test.html:70
> +  <div id = "remove-button" onclick="onClick();"/>

This is completely wrong. Flat tags do not work in HTML, and fixing this error breaks the test-case.

> LayoutTests/touchadjustment/small-target-test.html:76
> +    <div id = "drop-down-selector" onclick="onClick();"/>

Ditto.

Well, actually I've got them. I will fix them in bug #92869. I noticed it will I was cleaning up for #92869 anyway.
