If D3E defines .key indicates current *function*, I think so. But on the other
hand, it may not be useful for web developer for such low level information
because it means they need to think each platform's culture (e.g., which keys
are good for this situation?).

I think that the attributes should be deprecated. So, I don't think D3E should
add new attributes for them anymore. I think that .getModifierState() should be
better for compatibility with older web browsers in the future.
