It is, but the other disadvantages of the compact frame geometry remain.
I think it's a non-issue for touring, as there are no compact frame

seen, and I think I've seen every model (at least in the U.S.). It would
look rather strange.

Well it's widely used in marketing, at least in the U.S., especially for
vehicles, but yes, I haven't seen it in any dictionary.
