[[
what exactly does the spec mean when it says "this event type shall be  
generated after the keyboard mapping"? I don't quite understand what  
"after keyboard mapping" refers to. I think it might mean figuring out the  
state of a character taking modifier keys and dead keys into account, but  
then why does the spec say the keydown event shall be generated after a  
keyboard mapping?
