Steps to reproduce:

1) Create an HTML file with the following content:

  <html>                                                                   
    <head>                                                                 
      <script type="text/javascript">                                      
        window.onkeydown = function(e) { console.log(e.keyIdentifier); };     
      </script>                                                               
    </head>                                                                   
  </html>                                                                     

2) Open this file in a Chrome browser window on a non-ChromeOS system, and open the console for that window.

3) Attach a keyboard that has a separate numeric keypad to the computer and press the "1" key on the main part of the keyboard and then the "1" key on the numeric keypad. Note the values listed in the console for each of these key presses.

4) Repeat #2 and #3 with a ChromeOS device.

Expected output:

- U+0031, U+0031, U+0031, U+0031

Actual output:

- U+0031, U+0031, U+0031, U+0041

Reproducibility:

- 100% Reproducible.

Impact:

- Web applications that depend on keyIdentifier to identify keys won't work with numeric keypads.

Additional information:

- "U+0031" is the keyIdentifier for keys that have a "1" glyph. "U+0041" is the keyIdentifier reserved for keys that have an "A" glyph and should not be returned for the numeric keypad "1" (http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-DOM-Level-3-Events-20071221/keyset.html)
