I did read that and I didn't find anything there relevant to my question
other than

  A major mode can also rebind the keys M-n, M-p and M-s. The bindings
  for M-n and M-p should normally be some kind of moving forward and
  backward, but this does not necessarily mean cursor motion.

  It is legitimate for a major mode to rebind a standard key sequence if
  it provides a command that does the same job in a way better suited to
  the text this mode is used for. For example, a major mode for editing
  a programming language might redefine C-M-a to move to the beginning
  of a function in a way that works better for that language.

in "Major Mode Conventions", which describes exactly what I want to do,
but does not give any pointer which key sequences it makes sense and it
is most common to rebind. For example I don't fins mention of M-q
(fill-paragraph) which was in my original example.

Am I overlooking something?
