In Italy, computer nearly always come with italian keyboard, and those
who use an english keyboard are already used to changing the layout on
the fly whenever they go to other pcs or whenever they just have to
write something in italian and want accented characters. So I think the
proposal to choose default keyboard based on location might make sense
in italy. Perhaps this should be done on a country by country base.
