The touchdown speed on a light aircraft should be the lowest you can get. It should be fully held off except in a few circumstances (like a wheel landing in a taildragger).
I you fly a taildragger, 3-pointing it demands just that; you can get away with much sloppier technique in a trike and many 'pilots' (aeroplane drivers, perhaps) do - witness the almost unbiquitous 3-point trike landings (so far too fast and bad news for the nosewheel) you can see at any GA field any day of the week.
BTW if you are looking at the ASI at the point of touchdown you ain't doin it right! Your eyes should be looking at far end of the runway and your peripheral vision noting the sink rate (in case you run out of lift and need to add a touch of power to cushion the touchdown).
