...which, when looking at the generated xmodmap file,
perhaps isn't so strange...

It has comment lines like 
 ! This is an 'xmodmap' input file for
 !   PC 102 key, wide Delete, tall Enter (XFree86; Norwegian) keyboards
 ...
 ! This file make the following changes:
 ...
 ! The "Ø" key generates semicolon and colon

Which I take to mean "take the key labelled 'Ø',
and have it produce semicolon and colon", and which
isn't what I would like to do.

I would like to take the key labelled "Ø", and
have it generate "ø" or "Ø".

This takes me back to the last time I tried to
use xkeycaps (back in 1993).  I couldn't make
it work right back then either.  I wonder if there
is something I've misunderstood in the way
xkeycaps is meant to be used...?
