Comment: 
It isn't clear that this section has taken into account the potential 
difference between key codes and the characters that may result from a key 
press on a given keyboard. It seems to assume that the character on a key cap 
== the key code identifier == the character produced by pressing that key == 
the character that is the value of the key attribute. 

 
This is not always the case when you take into account a variety of keyboards 
serving various different locales. 

 
Please provide some precision as to how a key attribute value is associated 
with keyboard events. (Note that this has proved to be a difficult topic for 
the specification of DOM3 keyboard events.)
