No, looks good to me too.

My gut feeling is that in this case "w r" should not be treated as  
userinput, but as keypresses that belong to a command sequence. This  
is different from pressing M-x, which gets you into a command prompt  
in the minibuffer. So, the former should be like (leaving out the  
attribute tinsel):

<keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>x</keycap></keycombo><keycap>w</keycap><keycap  
 >r</keycap>

whereas I'd write the latter as:

<keycombo><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>x</keycap></keycombo><keycap>revert-buffer</keycap>

regards,
Markus
