A user can use any keys s?he likes. That Elisp convention tells you which
keys are reserved for users. Other keys (not reserved for users) are
likely to have bindings provided by Emacs or packages, so if you bind
them to different keys you might change some behavior. That's all - just
useful to know, for users too.

This isn't a keymap: '(("a" . #'kill-ring-save)))

(keymapp '(("a" . #'kill-ring-save))) ; returns nil

This is a keymap: '(keymap ("a" . #'kill-ring-save)))

(keymapp '(keymap ("a" . #'kill-ring-save))) ; returns t

Yes, that too. You can't bind non-interactive functions to keys.
