It probably should, yes. One of the reasons supporting this is that during 
USB reset (for example), the descriptors are reread from the device, which 
has a potential to cause a mismatch if a full rebind cycle is not 
performed. (I have a patch in my queue that tries to fix this, but moving 
the fixups to ll drivers is still something I will be considering).

Sounds good, it will also pave the way for the modalias patches.

A proper and clean implementation will have to be thought about though.

I specifically want to avoid situation when we'll be heading towards 
"let's put all quirk handling into one driver under giant VID/PID-based 
switch", as getting rid of that was the very original pulse to have HID 
bus introduced.

Absolutely. Less in-kernel lookups, less complex switches and more modularity.
