I agree with Jonny that the formulation here adds more than we mean to. I think it MUST allow only giving focus, and SHOULD allow the user to select direct activation (and therefore have a configuration option). (Personally I would like to have the extended reauirement implied in the proposal, but can live with less).

This would be too hard for many devices. Something like "A user >agent MUST give the element focus when an accesskey is used. It MAY >activate the element after giving it focus." may be closer. > > -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles tel: +61 409 134 136 SWAD-E http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe ------------ WAI http://www.w3.org/WAI 21 Mitchell street, FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia fax(fr): +33 4 92 38 78 22 W3C, 2004 Route des Lucioles, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
