No, not really. I was only pulling your leg. Good that you didn't fall for
it. :-)
Another way of putting it is that I was mistaken about Xy3 vs. Xy4 in this
respect. For some purposes, we can now drop 3-byte wildcards into XPL, but
that isn't apparently the same as dropping them into Parse. I just tried it
and it doesn't work. So one does have to do the one-byte 27 plus the x.

How do we know what Shift-esc is putting out? In the original Xy4.kbd that
puts out a
27, whereas the plain escape key puts out the function ES (which seems to
be a sort of all purpose cleanser, like YD).

I think that was Martin Frobisher. You know, the guy who died looking for
the Northwest Passage.
