Yes, that's one of 2 solutions considered at the moment:

Solution 1
=====================
  * Record keycode (done today) and the keysym (not today) for
      all non-modifiers

  * When a non-trivial keysym is to be replayed, find what
    keycode+modifiers are needed to make the keysym happen
    ... fake 'em


Solution 2
=====================
  * Before recording, store keymap to file map1

  * Record as usual

  * Before replaying, store keymap
    (of display to where we replay) to file map2

  * 'Transfer' keymap (map1) to display where we replay

  * Replay as usual

  * 'Transfer' back the old keymap (map2)

Both solutions has pros and cons....
... one major problem with #1 is that there will be different number of
events faked than was recorded :(

Yes, but you should be able to switch keyboard without having to
re-record all sessions again..... solved by #1 and #2
