I concur with Jason's assessment. I was drafting my own similar comment when I read his so I will not post it. But a couple specific answers to questions raised -- that back up Jason's comments. 1 - I think that Earl Johnson's suggestion has merit - for the reason's he stated. His suggestion was: "content uses only event handlers that are designed so that, at a minimum, they are operable through character input." 2 - We should not mention keyboard emulation (except perhaps parenthetically after keyboard such as ....keyboard (and emulated keyboards). ) No one really know what "Keyboard emulation" is --- AND it means "acting exactly like a keyboard so that it is impossible to tell that you are not using the keyboard". If you are Keyboard accessible you are by definition accessible by Keyboard emulation. So it is not necessary and it would in fact actually be redundant with Keyboard accessible.
