This seems to be quite accurate now... but there is one thing I
don't understand...

How do you know that a character is self-inserting at this stage?
You only find that out by looking it up in the keymaps, and you
haven't got to that yet at this stage (unless this somehow is
the second pass?)



May I suggest that you add an example of which part of emacs currently
uses each of these methods, e.g.

For example, this maps M-x into ESC x.

For example, this is where the delete-frame event is handled.

For example, this is how the C-u prefix is handled.

For example, this is used by cua-mode and viper.

etc.
