Thanks for the insight :-)

My point was rather that one shouldn't take "mnemonicity" of keys for
granted. And then, what would the symbols "<" and ">" mean to a Hebrew
or Arabic writer anyway?

(Off on a tangent: this is another big difficulty internationalization
of Emacs will face: keybindings which make sense to an English speaking
american sitting in front of an US-Keyboard do sometimes make very
little sense on other keyboards (or worse: they are downright painful to
type)).
