   Daniel, do you feel that your concerns have been addressed, or do we
   need more discussion?
  
  I'm fine with the principle that key repeat should be generated client
  side, but I'm not convinced that clients should send a series of
  down-down-down events without agreeing this behaviour with the server.
  
 
 Servers have to deal with this anyway given that the Windows vncviewer
 in both version 3 and 4 of RealVNC uses this behaviour, and almost
 every VNC implementation derives from these.
 
 Also, given the dominance of the Windows platform, I'd say the
 absolute majority of all VNC sessions will already be using this
 method. So us stating that it is the preferred mode is only documenting
 reality as it already is.

Reality sucks :-( I've no objection to comitting this doc though
 
 What server was it that mishandled this sequence?

It was in the interaction between QEMU and the emulated guest OS' key
handling
