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.

Thanks, committed. Though I must admit it looks like exotic one...
