[Bug 24739] [D3E-code] Define code values for the special keys on Sun keyboard

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24739

--- Comment #7 from Masayuki Nakano <masayuki@d-toybox.com> ---
Oh, wait.

I realized that if KeyboardEvent.code value will be used for an argument of new
API in UI Events or something, two or more physical keys on a physical keyboard
should not be mapped to a code value.

For example, if D4E will define a new API which can query a good localized
label for a physical key like KeyboardEvent.getLocalizedLabel(DOMString
codeArg), Garykac's idea of .code value of non-printable keys is not useful.

Sun keyboard's "Props" key and "ContextMenu" key cause different .key value in
default settings of Ubuntu and Fedora. Therefore, such new API should be able
to distinguish the keys with independent .code value.

How do you think about this issue?
