Bug 6474

Dear xkb maintainers,

Here below is a proposed addition to the layout xkbdesc/symbols/be.  
It extends the be(basic) variant as to match the engravings on 
a Wang model 724 azerty Belgium keyboard.  This 724 was supplied in 
Belgium and Luxembourg from 1986 until 1998.  

Model number overview:
  724 qwerty US = pc101 + 8 keys (Help, F13-F16, Cancel, Erase, GL) (725-3770)
  724 azerty BE = pc102 + 8 keys + four level keypad (item 725-3771-ae)
  724 qwerty UK = pc102 + 8 keys + four level keypad (item 725-3771-uk)
See www.geocities.jp/vintage_keyboard/wang724.html for the layout.

I didn't find a suitable keysym for the Erase/DecTab key (it E0 
generates Alt_L+F10+Rel:F10+Rel:Alt_L).  It used to insert a decimal 
tab with a field that fills from right-to-left. 

Perhaps this extension might be useful in general and considered for 
inclusion as a new variant.  Alternatively, it could be merged into 
the be(basic) part since all new symbols are a strict addition.  A 
patch for each option is included below.

Yours sincerely,
Servaas Vandenberghe
