Rich, We've put both UI Events Keyboard Events Key Values and UI Events Keyboard Events Code Values out for wide review. We have asked for feedback within one month. The i18n people have replied to say they plan to request several substantive changes to the Key Values spec, and will need more time to do this. Unfortunately this pushes any possibility of moving Key Values into CR to an unknown point in time. The i18n people also noted that they had not been asked for wide review on ARIA 1.1, and suggested that this would be good - especially since ARIA references the UI Events specs.
