To whom it may concern: I wholeheartedly support the views expressed by John Foliot in his argument for the removal of the key attribute from the XHTML 2 specification: http://www.wats.ca/articles/xhtmlroleaccessmodulestillflawed/80 I have been involved in the field of web accessibility since 1999, and while there is a clear need to enhance device-independent access to web content, in that time I have failed to see any evidence that HTML accesskeys in their current form have a positive impact on keyboard accessibility. I hope you will make the decision to alter the draft specification as recommended by Mr Foliot.
