This working group hasn't decided to drop it. I think the use of "dropped" in the draft is a bit unfortunate, but I didn't manage to come up with anything better, so there it is. accesskey appears in the HTML 4 spec but not in the current draft of the HTML 5 spec. Whether it should stay that way remains to be seen. A few words about why it's not in HTML 5 might be worthwhile, but it's not clear that we could come to consensus on a rationale quickly. The draft does note "Some of the open issues include (this list is not exhaustive): * ... * Details of accessibility and media-independence features. " http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/html5/html4-differences/Overview.html Revision: 1.25 of 2007/06/25 14:50:30 I hope that explanation suffices. I'd rather not make changes to the document beyond "publication-related changes (e.g. status section, typos, broken links)" because if we do, we need to re-start the 7 day decision procedure. http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/trdiff/results -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
