I just tried your suggestion ant it works fine. I think I had tried
other combination (Ctrl-something) and it didn't work. Maybe there is
some problem with non standard keys. I currently have a working
solution:

    <keybind key="0xdf">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>sh -c 'sleep 0.5;xset dpms force off'</execute>
      </action>
    </keybind>

Of course, sleeping, not to mention calling a shell, is sub-optimal.

openbox version is 3.4.11.2-2

The distro is Archlinux and I keep everything up to date.

Thanks,

Jorge
