Good suggestion, the Handbook should be changed
according to that if it really works (and is, in
my opinion, easier).

My statement regarding the xorg.conf _and_ XML
fun wasn't a personal experience and testing
(xorg-server-1.7.7_2,1 here), but the Handbook
said so:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html

It's mentioned directly beneath the XML fun in
6.4.2.

There's also a ServerLayout _or_ ServerFlags
statement for the ``Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"''
setting, right before the XML fun for setting a
localized keyboard begins... :-)
