Oh, now that is a different story.  If we can match capability
bitmasks for pen, mouse, keyboard, etc. then what I was thinking of
was trying something on this order:

ENV{NAME}="Serial Wacom Tablet $attr{id}"

Using ENV{NAME} to change the name to what we want with device type
appended.  Should show up in xinput list and Gimp etc.  The thing I
was wondering about was how to number them if needed, e.g. pen1, pen2
and so on.
