The list was intended intended to include keys that are common across several keyboards. There are dozens of keys on various keyboards around the world that could not be included in the list. The 'other' attributes let you mark up other function keys. <keycap function="other" otherfunction="undo"/> <keycap function="other" otherfunction="f3"/> How does this not meet your needs? If people feel extending the enumerated list would be a common need, then we could add a parameter entity to the attribute declaration: function (alt |control |shift |... |pagedown |other %local.keycap.function ) #IMPLIED Then a DTD customization could declare: <!ENTITY % local.keycap.function "|undo|f3"> -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
