Description Masayuki Nakano 2013-09-05 06:59:20 UTC 
"MediaPause" key was defined, but it's dropped from new key name list.

It's necessary for some platforms:

Curious.

I'd certainly prefer having a 'MediaPause' key, but the HAVI/OCAP specs use VK_PAUSE for their pause key (which already maps to 'Pause').

To fix this, I'll need to add a note that media controllers should map their VK_PAUSE -> 'MediaPause' rather than 'Pause'. Since some platforms distinguish these 2 keys, I'll update the spec.
