It's just a communication problem. Wacom upstream needs to get to xorg@ / 
#xorg-devel, not the other way around. AIUI HAL input-hotplug can be made 
to work with wacom, but it needs changes in the driver not the server. 
Could be that it needs changes in both, but that's why the wacom people 
should speak up :)
