A major problem is that (IIRC) we construct key event information for
windowless plugins from our internal event representation -- changing the key
code could easily break plugins.  Once again i'll try to remind people, keyCode
*is* platform specific.

keyCode and charCode also don't account for international input -- you're
looking at something that is largely platform dependent, and can easily break
your site for international users.
