It might be useful to recommend that rather than defining access keys and explaining what the definitions are, authors should provide a page saying that they **don't define them** but pointing to a guide to how they can work. The MWI could maybe provide such a page to point to, rather like the page provided by WAI [1] for text size and colours, which tells people how to use their browsers.
