That's a good suggestion. It should be phrased in terms of "often
used as labels on many keyboards" etc., to avoid giving the
impression that this is standard; it is common among many keyboards,
but it is by no means standard (there is no standard for such labels
AFAIK).

Maybe the "Emacs terminology" info page is a reasonable place for
that?  It is not really Emacs terminology, but people might look for
it there.

That is fine for me. (And I think it is about Emacs terminology.)
