I think UAs should automatically highlight the accesskey (or add it in brackets if it isn't already in the string). I am thinking of writing some text -- optional, of course, since this wouldn't apply to all UAs or all platforms -- that specifies this. I also think that there should be an accesskey value which is basically "auto", and which picks a non-clashing access key based on the element content. What do people think? Would these two solutions be workable? -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
