It'd be something to test, Cmd-+ might work as a keybinding, and would  
then work on other keyboards.  Or perhaps you can just bind to both  
Cmd-Shift-+ and Cmd-+.  For other platforms, its not a big deal since  
the keybindings are not very consistent.  On Mac OS X, they are quite  
consistent across OS and apps, so people notice wrong bindings a lot  
more.
