Yes, I understand :) The thing about guides is that they work but only
until they don't. I still think that we should follow an agreed upon
set of guidelines, e.g., GNOME HIG, until the experience calls for a
different [re]solution.

My reasoning is: not only are we predicting the unpredictable, i.e.,
what other people want/need, we are also teaching people how to learn,
as that is the nature of designing for others. So the greeter IA should
be the most suitable for that, no worries if it doesn't align to
standards, because that's not typically what defines the best
experience, as it is is only a snapshot of what has worked in the past,
not what's needed in the present.

Why? How common is it for a person to type in a different language than
is read? If very, then can we combine the languages [read and key] into
a single space, though still independently functional?

Maybe combining them somehow?
