Questions about WD-css3-userint-20000216

Hi,

I am writing on behalf of the WAP Forum's Wireless Application
Environment working group.

Section 18 of the WAP Forum's Wireless CSS spec: 

 [1] http://www1.wapforum.org/tech/terms.asp?doc=WAP-239-WCSS-20011026-a.pdf

defines the wap-accesskey CSS property.  This property is based on 
the key-equivalent property defined in:

 User Interface for CSS3 - W3C Working Draft 16 Feb 2000 
 [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-userint#key-equivalent

Since the intent of [1] is to align as closely as possible with [2], 
we request your (and/or the CSS Working Group) feedback on the 
following questions:

1. Regarding the following part of the spec:

[[
A <key-press-combination> is one or more characters with one or 
more modifier keys separated by dashes ('-'). 

The characters must be specified in uppercase or as entities - 
the actual user input for the key-equivalency is case insensitive. 
]]

a. What is the meaning of "entities" in this context?  

b. Are non-alpha/numeric characters/keys (e.g. the '*' or '#' keys) 
 supported?  If so, how are these characters encoded?

c. Why "must" the character be specified in uppercase?  Is the
 expectation that a conforming User Agent would ignore the
 property if the character was given in lowercase?

2. Is the use of the '.' in following example in section 5.2.2 
 legal:

   input.cancel { key-equivalent: esc cmd-. N }

3. What is the status of [2]?  

Thanks,

Art Barstow
