(resending due to mailing problem)

I seems like I should remove these two, then.

It would be nice if we could keep these parameters so that the
keyboard doesn't require user-space set up to work, but I understand
and agree they are not essential. Regarding Grant's request to come up
with a common binding, if I remove these then that is not needed,
right?
