According to the TDG:
keycap — The text printed on a key on a keyboard
keysym — The symbolic name of a key on a keyboard
The TDG gives you an example:
<para>
The <keycap>F1</keycap> key on an IBM PC keyboard generates the
scan code <keycode>0x3B</keycode> when pressed. This value
is defined as <keysym>KEY_F1</keysym> in
<filename class="headerfile">keyboard.h</filename>.
</para>
Or in other words, roughly spoken: Use keycap if your reader has to press
a key. Use keysym if you "develop" a program and talk about a symbolic
name of a key.

I am not sure, but maybe this is an option:
<keycap function="other" otherfunction="...">PRIOR</keycap>
Invent your meaning for the otherfunction attribute.
Bye,
