Looking at the specs for this next year, there is no plan to drop
sending the scancodes for the volume keys.  These were written with Win7
in mind, so at a minimum, this behavior wouldn't be changed until Win7+1.

A lot of the other keys I've hooked up through this however, platforms
will see these changes within the year.  I've tried to document which
keys will still send scan code events per that spec.
