Comment(by walter):

 As we discussed it at the time, the difficulty is that the keycaps are
 small and to print additional glyths is difficult without making the
 glyths very small. Because we add many altgr keys, that only exacerbates
 the problem. On the international keyboards, where we support two
 alphabets, it would be almost impossible. I think clarity is more
 important, but I will mock up a keyboard for evaluation purposes.

 There is some debate as to whether or not upper case or lower case should
 be used: in my unscientific sample, children are always taught upper case
 first.

 I do agree that #2447 is a viable alternative.
