Because the <new-file> is not always correct, e.g.
<menu-bar> <options> <cua-mode>
corresponds to
Options => C-x/C-c/C-v cut and paste (CUA)
It wouldn't be too hard to get this right...
E.g.
<menu-bar> <options> <mule> <set-various-coding-system> <revert-buffer-with-coding-system>
could be shown as
Options => Mule => Set Coding System => For Reverting This Buffer Now
But the initial objection was that the key binding text was too wide.
My aim was to make the text shorter...
