Hi folks, We seem to have several threads going here. Please let me know if I've understood the issues: 1) User agents must support the standard keyboard API because ATs today work via the keyboard API. Therefore, we have a Guideline today to ensure access through the keyboard API to all functionalities. Mouse keys uses the mouse API and therefore support for mouse keys would not satisfy checkpoint 2.1 of the 4 October draft. 2) Users need two types of access to user agent functionalities: serial (with context) and direct (e.g., activated through the keyboard, voice, or mouse). We don't have a checkpoint about this, although I did include prose in the 4 October version of the spec (in the intro) distinguishing types of access. So I agree with Charles: Point 1 seems to be necessary and insufficient. Point 2 is only addressed in prose in the 4 October draft. - Ian -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel/Fax: +1 212 684-1814 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
