Yes, were I editing and had lots of time!
The .texi input is @kbd{M-x list-faces-display}
which isn't much help is it:-)

I guess a lot of xslt 2 regexing could
resolve it to an appropriate action attribute... but.

is adequate to cover this case.

Thanks Andy.

To be quite honest I can't come to a clear decision either way,
especially when generating it from a transform!
