That still wouldn't fix the insidious modality of having one modifier key for keyboard equivalents in Web apps, and another modifier key for keyboard equivalents in native apps. Anyway, the only vendor with the force to establish new standard keys for PC keyboards in the past decade has been Microsoft. If Microsoft were willing to cooperate, though, they would be willing to implement Web applications stuff in MSIE for popular versions of Windows. Therefore backward compatibility of new Web applications specs with MSIE 6 for Windows would not be (nearly as) necessary. Therefore we could use XForms and the like. Therefore What-WG would not need to exist. -- Matthew Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/
