Apple Bluetooth keyboard---special function keys for iPad 3?

I have seen a good answer to a question about getting a list of function keys for the Apple Bluetooth keyboard---but it seems to address only using the keyboard with a Mac (laptop). Is there a list of special function keys that work with an iPad 3? I am particularly interested in which special function keys (if any) there are that work with an iPad 3 that one could not find on a non-Apple keyboard (such as a Motorola wireless keyboard, that works fine with entering text such as letters, numbers, and symbols). In other words what---in terms of function or navigation keys---makes the Apple Bluetooth keyboard better than other Bluetooth keyboards?

Can the iPad specific keys from the iPad Keyboard Dock be remapped to the Apple wireless keyboard?

The iPad keyboard dock has keys for iPad specific features. Is that functionality completely lost when using the bluetooth keyboard?

How exactly is this keyboard different from EN keyboard?

I'm using an Apple Wireless Keyboard (US) but I'm interested in using the Italian version at home. But by reading the product description and looking at the photos on the product page, I can't tell how the Italian version is different from the US version.

Is it possible to order a wireless Spanish keyboard as a separate item?

I’m currently majoring in Spanish and I’m considering purchasing an Apple wireless Spanish keyboard since I write in Spanish daily. I noticed that Apple now offers a Spanish keyboard as a separate item, however the picture they’re showing for the item is a U.S keyboard whereas Apple shows the appropriate picture for the other foreign language keyboards. I just want to confirm that I would be ordering the correct item. Thank you!
