The manual entry "Key binding conventions" talks only about a small
subset of possible key bindings, such as the C-c prefix and the function
keys.  Keys with Meta, Super, Hyper, and Alt are not documented.  The
manual should contain conventions/rules for all possible keys.

I'm not sure I understand the essence of the report.  There's a whole
section (named, unsurprisingly, "Key Bindings") dedicated to key
bindings, and a subsection there named "Modifier Keys" covers all the
modifiers, AFAICT.

What I mean is a specification which combinations are reserved for the
user, minor modes, and major modes. Context is
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=22604, where such an addition
was requested for C-c combinations. Here I request one for all keys.

Which conventions are we talking about here more specifically?  Could
you enumerate them or give a couple of examples?

FWIW, I don't see any need for any further specifications.  The manual
says what keys to reserve; all those which aren't mentioned, including
with modifiers, aren't reserved.

I agree.

And since there has been no further comments within 9 weeks, I'm now
also closing this bug report.

What does it mean for a key sequence to be unreserved? Anybody can use
it for any purpose? If so, how do we prevent clashes between these
unreserved sequences?

For example, anything including one or more of the Super, Hyper, and
Alt modifiers. Or sequences consisting of C-c and a non-ASCII letter.

Yes, AFAIU.

> If so, how do we prevent clashes between these unreserved sequences?

We don't.  It's up to the authors of the various packages to make
sure they don't step on keybindings of any other packages, except if
those other packages can never be used with this package.  What else
can we do?
