TextMate for Mac OS has a similar way of defining key bindings:
basically, a major mode labels regions of a buffer's text, and
keys can be bound to functions only within regions with certain
labels. It's like font-lock for keys (IIRC, TextMate's
fontification uses these same labels). I think it's a great
idea, and would like to see some general mechanism for doing it
included in Emacs.
