Re: urdu keymap

Hi

I would disagree with you, Mark. There can countries/languages/layouts 
which were never implemented in hardware - and still it makes sense to 
have corresponding layouts (or at least variants). I would not bound the 
word "keymap" to the politics of the keyboard vendors (some countries 
can just be too small/insiginficant for them, some languages considered 
as secondary etc). For example, I never seen any keyboard with the Irish 
layout - but still think this layout can exist, even if there was no 
physical keyboard. Similar, I am not sure there was some keyboard with 
the Russian phonetic layout - but AFAIK, the number of people using it 
is large enough to include it.

I think it really is. The only thing is that maintainers should be 
careful and picky about inclusion of the multiple related keymaps.

PS I am using both words "layout" and "keymap" because I see you want to 
ban any non-hardware-based set of symbols.
