I would vote against it. Simply make shortcuts/accelerators/mnemonics 
translatable and require activity authors to think about the usability 
of their applications. This standardized "function" thing seems a little 
bit over designed, and the keyboard mapping setting palette is a 
complication. I do not know what programs are you planning for the XO, 
but I can hardly think about anything which would require this level of 
customization (and as we all know, customization has a price, less 
simplicity).
See, actually I do not have much weight in this conversation since I 
will not be the man who will code this thing. Another problem is that 
the only application where I have ever customized the keys was Visual 
Studio so I could be a little bit biased.
