You can send the whole array (256 bytes isn't all that much, but on every 
key event - an overkill).
Or you can send changes only all at once (comparing arrays isn't all that hard).
Lastly you can use Xi2 to receive all key changes, however this won't pick 
up any injected key events (this is how it works in Wine anyway, so not a 
big loss of functionality).
