If you try to use Google Docs in Epiphany, you'll notice that common keyboard shortcuts like CTRL-S to save, CTRL-O to open a document or CTRL-P to print don't work the way they are supposed to. The thing is that they work as they always work in Epiphany, and not how they have been re-defined by Google Docs' Javascript.

I suppose that letting a web-page override such common keyboard shortcuts could be considered rude or dangerous, but if you want to have web pages that behave almost like real apps (http://blogs.gnome.org/xan/2011/08/31/web-application-mode-in-gnome-3-2), you'll need to - at least optionally - support this.
