When the <kbd> element is nested inside a <samp> element, it represents the input as it was echoed by the system.
When the <kbd>element contains a <samp> element, it represents input based on system output, for example invoking a menu item.
When the <kbd> element is nested inside another <kbd> element, it represents an actual key or other single unit of input as appropriate for the input mechanism.
