Re: About KeyboardEvent.keylocation property for TV/STB

Hi,
I don't think there is any TV/STB out there using DOM3 events model,
although there may be in future. (depends also at what kind of
enviroment you are looking at, web technologies are used in many
different ways inside TVs and STBs)

About TV specific extensions or in general the value that keylocation
will take in case of TV implementations I think this is a good point.
It could be raised with the DOM group but is also a question for
implementers and also for TV groups (like DLNA or HbbTV) that could
influence that by mandating a special value in some cases.

I would guess that missing a dedicated value and a reason for doing it
most implementers will just use "DOM_KEY_LOCATION_STANDARD"
