My only problem with them is when you get an unanticipated sheet

That's a good point, but can you think if any examples of where
that could actually happen? Sheets usually only show up if the user
issues a command. This is especially true of "Save/Don't Save".
Unsolicited alerts that might appear during normal typing are
generally regular dialogs.
If this is a real concern, I'm certain it could be addressed on a
case-by-case basis. In the case of "Save/Don't Save", I think it
should almost always be safe to allow unmodified keys.
In any case, if accepting unmodified keys doesn't seem like a good
idea, at least accepting Command-modified keys when a sheet is
active would be useful. They would just have to override any menu
command with the same key. At the very least, "Save/Don't Save"
seems to come up often enough that supporting them there would
probably be a Good Thing.
