I just find that quotes are not unique enough and do not set off key
bindings from other quoted items well. Curly braces seem to do a better
job, that is all.

You could make them do whatever you want. The default is to invoke the
key binding when one mouse button is pressed (shift-mouse2) and to show the
key binding's full documentation when shift-mouse3 is pressed. If a key
binding is not useful within the current buffer, simply don't select it for
execution.
And I like your idea. You could also consider the formatting and
hyperlinking from M-x apropos as a reference point.
