When a user triggers an accesskey, it makes perfect sense for the author to suggest whether it is more logical to focus some control, or actually activate it. But the spec is IMHO, too prescriptive. It takes what should be a hint - what the author thinks is going to happen - and requires that this is exactly what happen. User agents should enable users to do things like focus on the thing the accesskey applies to, and then try to inspect it, or conversely to directly activate it. Default behaviour is likely to be what the author expected, and in "normal" circumstances probably should. But there are circumstances where this is insufficient. (Beyond this, the idea that there is a key combination to trigger an accesskey is far too narrow an understanding of how actual user agents work...) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
