--- Comment #2 from Gary Kacmarcik <garykac@google.com> ---
So *every* key press on such a device would have location set to MOBILE?

If so, the meaning of the setting isn't really "mobile", but rather "unknown"
or "unspecified". Non-mobile devices could, in theory, make use of this value
as well.

But looking at Android's keycodes:
   http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html
they have separate values for Shift left/right, Control left/right and Meta
left/right.  The location field should be set appropriately for these key
events, which precludes the use of MOBILE.

I don't believe that MOBILE is a useful location to have in the spec.
