           Summary: 'Meta' key is the same as the 'OS' or 'Win' key
    Classification: Unclassified

In Table 6.2.7.1 - Key Values List
   http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#key-values-list

There is both an "OS" key and a "Meta" key. These are the exact same key and
should not have different codes. This key is for the Windows key, Apple's
Command key and Sun's Meta key.

We need to choose one name, "OS" or "Meta", and be consistent in the spec.

I think "OS" is a better name, but "Meta" might be preferred for historical
reasons.

The following needs to be made consistent:

1) The "metaKey" attribute in KeyboardEvent (rename to "osKey")

2) The modifier list for getModifierState (in 5.2.5) shouldn't have both "Meta"
and "OS". (Remove "Meta")
Also this list of modifier keys should be put in a table rather than tucked
away in this method description.
