Ah, you're right I hadn't thought it through clearly enough.
So we need to keep "/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/" as you say,
but I still think it is a good idea to move 
"/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default" to "/etc/X11/xinit/xinputrc".

So then maybe it is better to just keep everything in "xinput.d/" or 
rename it to "xinputrc.d/"?
