Existing user expectations, regarding undo-redo, coming from just about 
any other editor or software with text inputs (such as Firefox).

I'm pretty confident that any user that will use 'redo' from the menu 
will look for the binding for it.

Also: we do make an effort to create key bindings for commands that we 
anticipate will be used often. If the user uses 'redo' at all, they will 
do it frequently.

Additionally, the difference between 'undo' and 'undo-only' is likely to 
be surprising for such users.
