Ever since I purchased iA Writer for my iPad I knew I wanted that keyboard for my code editor. Spent a day making it happen.
The keyboard is made with CSS3, SVG images (glyphs) and Javascript. I have been quite happy with the performance on the iPad: there's no delay nor missed keys when typing.
It's not pixel-perfect and it's definitely not a viable alternative to a pure ObjectiveC custom keyboard, but that works just fine for my needs ;)
Hey @Daniel, I doubt so, but I might contact iA to see if they'd be ok with it.
I will probably make a blogpost on how to recreate the iPad keyboard with CSS3 if that interest some people.

WOW. I think @Panic should see this, to encourage them to get CODA for iPhone/iPad out!
