Another approach could be to have Emacs look for keybindings in
global-user-map before looking in global-map.  The default value for
global-user-map would be nil (or whatever the value is for an empty
keymap).  Then the keymap can just be set directly, and the diff-list
trick is not necessary.

Btw, what is the plan about the diff-list trick?  It seems that
Customize could be augmented to implement this, or numerous places in
Emacs could be changed so that the diff-list trick is not needed: for
each foo-hook, introduce another foo-user-hook variable defaulting to
nil.  Similar for other variables which are lists, such as load-path.
