[MINIMIZE_KEYSTROKES] Keep the number of keystrokes to a minimum

Does it give me WCAG 1.0 compliance?: This BP does not correspond to any  
WCAG 1.0 provision.

CMN: related to th functionality required by 9.5

FYI location in document [1].

Yes, but unfortunately I didn't realize on first reading what was meant by  
"select items using navigation keys" which suggests that there is a  
problem with the text of the MWBP.

Here's a new version: "The intention of this BP is the use of keyboard  
shortcuts (referred to confusingly as “navigation keys”). If this is done,  
then this BP ensures compliance with WCAG 1.0 checkpoint 9.5, “Provide  
keyboard shortcuts to important links (including those in client-side  
image maps), form controls, and groups of form controls”. However, when  
complying with the BP it is important to be aware that WCAG is more  
explicit in what it applies to than is the BP (which specifies only  
“items”)."

Note that the online document is only updated weekly.
