Given that XKB seems to almost completely undocumented (from the point
of view of a user who simply wants to control the behavior of his key-
board), I'd say that just about anything is easier to use.

Unfortunately, neither xbindkeys or xmacroplay is installed on my Fedora
Core 2 system. (And no, I hadn't considered using them, for the reason
that I've never heard of either command before.)
