nothing more than:
if/when/whoever does /dev/xkbd driver, there needs to be a documented
note regarding use with PC keyboards, as both driver writer and driver
user (ie app developler) "may" receive less keys than they expect when
multiple keys are pressed (ie that on average PC keyboards will only
present 3 keys even if more are pressed).
