Couldn't it be that some of those 4 buttons are used for accented characters in sophisticated langages 
and, in such a layout, act as updownleftright only if pressed together with one of the modifier keys? I still cannot believe they really plan to release a hardware keyboard that lacks 13% of my language's characters (or moves them to some obscure ctrl+sym+shift-combination).

Also, on a linux thingy I wouldn't mind accented cursors to be pgup/pgdn/home/end and such, but we're moving away from that target audience, I guess (going to xmodmap it anyway 
).

Better? :-D
