[uievents] DOM Level 3 KeyboardEvent key Values specification does not include core key values (#37)

Copied from W3C Bugzilla: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27825

The DOM Level 3 Events specification, https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/dom3events/raw-file/tip/html/DOM3-Events.html#keys-keyvalues, (section 6.3) second paragraph states, "The list of valid key values is defined in the DOM Level 3 KeyboardEvent key Values Specification [DOM3 key Values]."  However, the DOM Level 3 KeyboardEvent key Values specification, http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events-key/, does not include tables for core key values such as numerical keys (0-9), alphabetic keys (a-z), or symbol keys.  The reader must, for instance, look at example 21 in the DOM Level 3 Events specification to deduce that pressing the 2 key causes the value of '2' to be placed in the KeyboardEvent.key field and then extrapolate that to other numerical keys.

Bulk move of all D3E bugs to the UI Events component.
