`Shrug', yourself. ;-)
I provided links to them. Who is interested? No sense repeating everything
here/now, even in the case where someone might actually be interested.

It is important, but not all-important.
And the printed manual's notation for keys is anyway _inconsistent_ with the
UI's notation. As you pointed out, the printed manual uses little icons for key
names - what you called "a picture of a key with a label". Not so, the UI.
What is most important is clarity. After that, consistency within each
medium/context is important (it aids clarity). Consistency across all
media/contexts (print, Info, *Help*, messages,...) can be helpful but less
important than the previous.
