Summary:
When using `send_keys` with SafariDriver to test keyboard interactions with a text input element, non-printable keys are included in the input's changed value.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install SafariDriver (9 or 10).
2. Execute the `send_keys` command with a non-printable key (e.g., `keys.ARROW_DOWN`) against an active input element.
3. Read the input's value.

Expected Results:
The input value should not be changed. For example, if the starting value is an empty string (""), the value after pressing a non-printable key should still be an empty string.

Actual Results:
The input value string contains the non-printable character. For example, after executing `send_keys` with the down arrow against an input element with an empty value and reading the value, the input value's length is 1 (instead of 0) and the character code (read using JavaScript's `charCodeAt` method) is 57363 (instead of `NaN`).
