 	Yuck.  Let me do some more reworking.

-	When a keystroke comes from the hardware, it gets picked up and sent
 	to the client (ie. application/program). 
-	The application program (calling on ???) translates it into a
 	character using the following process:
 	-	Translates from a key/scan code into a symbol using the xmodmap map
 	-	The translation table is generated from xkb/*.
 	-	The compose/locale stuff happens after the xmodmap translation table.

 	Is that better?

 	:)
