Comment:

 Kathy and I reviewed the bug16678_2 changes. We have not tried to test the
 code yet, and we have not tried to determine if all of the mappings are
 optimal. That said, we have a few comments:

 1. Should we remove the "TODO needs more information" mappings? Or do we
 plan to do more research and include a mapping for them?

 2. Typo in a comment: Italisn

 3. Typo in a comment: FInnish

 4. Do we have automated tests for our key event fingerprinting changes?
