So the Caps Lock LED does not indicate that Caps Lock is active, but
rather that the Caps Lock key has been pressed an odd number of times?
It is a 1 bit counter?

So all other implementations where the LED indicates the state are wrong
because nobody needs to be warned that Caps Lock is active, bu everybody
want's to know how many times the key has been pressed. Well actually
only the lowest bit of that number.

Come on, you're pulling my leg.
