can RECORD extension capture XKEYBOARD events?

[zmqdev]

Hello,

I already capture key presses with the RECORD extension.

I want to convert the keycodes to correct utf-8 representation with
libxkbcommon.

For that to work, I need to keep track of the state of the keyboard,
which means capturing XKB events and feeding those to the XKB context.

However, the RECORD extension doesn't seem to see the XKB events.

Even when selecting for all extensions events (I don't know whether XKB
events are 'delivered' or 'device' events)

     xcb_record_range_t rr[] = {
         {.device_events = {XCB_KEY_PRESS, XCB_KEY_RELEASE}}, // 2-3
         {.device_events = {64, 127}}, // all extensions.
         {.delivered_events = {64, 127}}, // all extensions.
     };

and an XKB client like interactive-x11 from libxkbcommon/test, I get
only XInputExtension events, but no XKB events.

I had a quick look at xorg-server/record/record.c, but cannot find any
obvious reason why RECORD would exclude XKEYBOARD.

So my question: does the RECORD extension also capture XKB events? Or is
it on a TODO list somewhere?
