As mentioned below, the spec I'm looking at is CEA2014, and it includes
both VK_BACK and VK_BACK_SPACE.
For the record the list I'm using comes from the OIPF Web Standards TV
profile shared on this list a while ago

http://www.oipf.tv/specifications/login/com-sef-users-download?gid=103

Of course one could argue that VK_BACK and VK_BACK_SPACE are the same and
the first should be dropped. Is that what you were suggesting?

Note though that they are usually intended as different. See also this list
that Glenn put together a while ago
