Sorry, the man page for xmodmap explains it this way:

   The KEYSYMNAME on the left hand side is translated
   into matching keycodes used to perform the  corre­
   sponding  set of keycode expressions.  The list of
   keysym names may  be  found  in  the  header  file
   <X11/keysymdef.h>  (without the XK_ prefix) or the
   keysym   database    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB.
   Note  that if the same keysym is bound to multiple
   keys, the expression is executed for each matching
   keycode.

They still refer to an XK_ prefix, but it looks like
having 2 files to refer to is intentional.

I'll update the man page.
