Why those? They are not used universally. At least German kids are  
taught to use "·" (centered dot) for multiplication and ":" (colon)  
for division. And for real math formulae you don't need those either.

I agree that having easy access to more symbols is useful, though I  
doubt it makes sense to put them all onto the keycaps.
