According to the WAI-ARIA 1.0 Authoring Practices, spinbuttons should adjust the value when the user presses the left or right arrow keys. However, this makes manually editing the value very difficult since you can't move the cursor between the existing characters. Even the dojo example linked to from the Authoring Practices doesn't implement the left/right arrow handling. We're currently creating a spinbutton control in jQuery UI and we are also intentionally leaving out the handling for left and right arrow keys. Due to the existing implementations and decreased usability when implementing this feature, I suggest that this be removed form the authoring practices.
