The message I half-finished writing and accidentally sent, the one that
mentions "Apple developer documents". I discovered that the only
interesting parts of Apple's stuff is extracted from the official USB docs.
I sent another message like it but with real information.

I think it's worth it, but I use only a small fraction of its capabilities.
When I first installed it, I didn't do any sort of configuration. I didn't
see any difference in how my system worked, until I looked in /dev where
the dozens (hundreds?) of device nodes I don't use were gone.
I've since created a few rules which while handy and pretty are nothing to
get excited about. The OP wants to do the kind of thing for which udev is
designed. I use keys like SYSFS{vendor} and these don't meet Uwe's
requirements. However, I don't understand enough about USB or kernel
internals to do more than take an insufficiently educated guess about how
to proceed.
