When capturing a keypress in Safari with Javascript, shift+tab has the value 25, when Mozilla uses 9.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open attached test page in Safari and Firefox.
2. Type tab in text box. See values of key codes is 9, shiftKey is false;
3. Type shift+tab in text box. Value is 9 in Firefox, 25 in Safari.

* RESULTS
Value should be 9.

AppKit has special values for tab. This patch makes sure we always use ASCII 9,
even for shift-Tab.

Mass moving XML DOM bugs to the "DOM" Component.
