Norm's DocBook tools use hyphen by default for keycombos.
Back when we used those for Yelp, we had a customization
layer which, among other things, used plus for keycombos.

We might want to pull old thing out of CVS to see what
customizations we needed to do.  We can't, of course,
use it directly, since it was for the HTML stylesheets.
But it will show us how our formatting choices differed
from those of Norm & Co.
