Actually they current draft has both KeyboardEvents and TextEvents. See

http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-DOM-Level-3-Events-20030331/ 
events.htmlhipt#Events-eventgroupings

Yes, they are different. Keyboard events are about actual raw  
keypresses, and text events are about the characters generated as a  
result. For example, pressing and releasing the control key would  
generate keyboard events but not text events.

It's kind of funny that we have keyboard events but not text events in  
WebCore and in kdelibs it's vice versa. We should probably merge your  
TextEvent implementation ASAP (verifying that it matches the latest  
draft).
