I understand item 1, but not item 2.  Why would we want to change
@samp to @kbd?  Likewise in other parts, where you suggest to change
@t to @kbd.  @kbd is for something the user types; using it for quotes
in context other than typing input is wrong.

This is an unrelated change.  Why would we want it?
