<AExx> and <ABxx> are different keys -- alphanumeric rows E and and B
respectively. The commas are to separate the different shift levels. 9 is a
simple keypress, parenright is Shift+9, bracketright is ISO_Level3_Shift+9,
and pluminus is Shift+ISO_Level3_Shift+9. In order to make bracketright be
from the AltGr+9, you have to assign RALT to ISO_Level3_Shift.

Kinda. http://www.charvolant.org/~doug/xkb/ is the best. It's online right
now, but the site has been flakey, so you might want to download the docs.
