My larger question, why do you want to do such a thing?  What problem
are you trying to solve here that console-kit (or the like), isn't
already solving today for you?

USB devices expose themselves to userspace in a wide range of ways, most
of them in ways that looking at the vendor/product isn't going to help
much at all.
