actually, keyboard mapping is not limited to xenix.  If you take your favorite
ms-dos disk and plug it into an European AT, you had better be pretty familiar
with the US keyboard layout, since that is what you are going to get when
you reboot the computer, regardless of what it says on the keycaps (which
follows more closely the standard for the country the computer came from than
what you get here).  Also, for some programs, such as Flight Simulator, the
documentation needs to be modified, since the scan codes are the same for
the key locations, not for the key names...
