I completely agree with Alexey here. 
Locale support is not there in any of the browser yet & tt is not seen that a real-page using "locale".

Secondly It is observed that majority of browsers like Webkit, IE, Firefox & Opera does support these properties but with names charCode(instead of char), keyCode(instead of key) & keyLocation(instead of location).
