I think they refer to the vendor and product of the input device (i.e. the 
touchpad) (e.g.  vendor: 0x2, product: 0x7, name: "SynPS/2 Synaptics 
TouchPad") rather than the system vendor and product name (e.g. "Inspiron 
1011").

Currently in udev we do the following:

# model specific quirks
ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="Inspiron 1011|Inspiron 1012", \
  ENV{x11_options.JumpyCursorThreshold}="90", \
  ENV{x11_options.AreaBottomEdge}="4100"

ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="HP MiniNote 1000", \
  ENV{x11_options.JumpyCursorThreshold}="20"
