accessibility/usability issues with lightboxes?

Dear group,

Andrew made me aware of some current blogs and articles discussing the 
usability and accessibility of lightboxes. As far as I can tell, these 
issues are primarily related to keyboard accessibility of the jQuery 
implementation. I'm not sure how much this applies to our annotations.

Does somebody volunteer to verify this?

Some of the relevant resources:

Best,
