 do our thing...

 This sounds interesting to try to implement.

 Why yes, I do!  { Is that child menu visible } ? { Do nothing! } : { Show
 the child menu; preventDefault }

 Not exactly, the current behaviour for PCs is
  "{ Is that child menu visible } ? { Don't care. There was a click so
 follow the link }"
 which for touch screen devices should be
  "{ Is that child menu visible } ? { No? Show it. Yes? Follow the link }"

 > So if they're hovering over the item before they click it, it won't do
 anything.  But if it detects a click without a hover (touch ui) it shows
 the menu and bails.

 Yeah, that may work. Thing is how exactly the touch devices emulate hover.
 Seems that currently in iOS the first touch on a top menu item is
 interpreted as "set hover state and bail" and the second touch actually
 does a 'click'.
