Yes, I read the discussion in the list archive. I do not agree totally
about the Country/Language configuration, but I will not discuss in this
thread ;)

OK, I have noted that the maps are different, and I suppose they are in
accordance with what you wrote in "The XKB internals" (I should confess
I couldn't understand this text very well...).
I would like to try the new maps in pc directory; all I need is to
change the XF86Config from:
Option "XkbLayout" "br"
to:
Option "XkbLayout" "pc/br"
?
And I am still using 4.3.0 (I have just downloaded the Xetc.tgz of 4.4
beta); do these maps work on 4.3.0?

Great :)
BTW, the Japanese map is missing in the "pc" directory...
