Those keywords are woefully underestimating the number of bugs.
Looking at standards compliance bugs, ignoring networking and mail bugs (I
don't know their keywords) there are over 2000 bugs without any
classification keywords.

Nope, because nobody has the time to go through the 20+ standards bugs
filed each week and mark them appropriately. Those with keywords are
merely those which have had a lot of attention and which are probably
being cared for by somebody in QA. (Or they were mass-marked in some move,
like most DOM bugs.)

The numbers you gave are not accurate.
