I believe the <> thing had something to do with
international versions
of the keyboard layout, but I don't remember the details and I'm not
sure it made any sense in retrospect.
Oh that reminds me of the most annoying layout I ever had to use. The HP
HP-HIL keyboard, UK version (I used it on an HP9000/340, but I guess it
turns up elsewhere). Keys were just plain in the wrong place. I can't
remember the real problems, but it was things like ESC being a shifted
function and positioned in the bottom left corner (to the left of the
shift key??)
