Keyboard support in UAAG 1.0 Issues

At the end of the call last week Peter was asking about the
keyboard requirements of UAAG 1.0.  Here are some of the main
requirements:

UAAG Keyboard Requirements
Checkpoint 1.1  Full Keyboard Access
http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG/guidelines.html#tech-device-independent-ui\

Checkpoint 1.2 Keyboard access to scripting event handlers
http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG/guidelines.html#tech-device-independent-handlers

Most of the checkpoints in Guideline 9
Guideline 9. Provide navigation mechanisms
http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG/guidelines.html#gl-navigation

NOTE: What we do not require is that there be a cursor that
moves character by character through a web resource.  Although
to implement a sub-selection of rendered conent feature
through the keyboard, this would probably be the way to
implement it.  Note we do not require that a browser implement
a sub-selection of content feature, but most graphical
browsers do implemnt this.
