My concern in this regard would be whether the keyboard "knows" that the
Fn key is supposed to be applied to the F<num> key, and not to the Ctrl
or Alt key.  If neither the Ctrl or Alt key is modifiable by the Fn key,
I guess that might be a non-issue, but I'm pretty sure that (for
instance) the Fn key on a ThinkPad is meant to be used with only one
other key at a time.  It's just not meant to make up for the lack of
standard keyboard keys, so there isn't any conflict.
