More specifically (I had to use "search" to find these):

http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Essentials/AquaHIGuidelines/AHIGUserInput/chapter_9_section_4.html
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Essentials/AquaHIGuidelines/AHIGUserInput/chapter_9_section_5.html

Looks reasonable. 

What would be the x86 equivalent of <Command> key?
The funny <ms-win logo key> that is now on all keyboards?

There is also and <Option> key in the Mac. 
That might be the <right ms-win key with menu and arrow>?

Wait, the Mac does not have the <Alt> key. Can someone tell me more 
about the <Meta> key on some machines? I'm getting confused.
