Description
We currently have some tests that assume that a keyDown action that depresses the shift key, followed by a keyDown action with value "a" will result in text input "A", which matches send keys, but doesn't match what the spec says for actions. Probably we should just reuse the existing send keys behaviour and match the tests here, although it's a bit unfortunate to add US-keyboard specific behaviour in actions as we as in send keys.

Research direction
Start by comparing the existing keyDown action tests with the send keys behavior described in the issue, then check the WebDriver actions specification's treatment of depressed Shift state. Done means the chosen behavior is resolved against the specification and the relevant tests consistently cover the resulting text input.
