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">
