That aside, it seems to me that a browser that allows such keyboard-shortcut conflicts to occur is so obviously broken that I don't even understand why it needs to be discussed at all, let alone /here/. *If* you want to go there, the effort should be much broader: you should then also state that browsers must by default indicate the existence of a TITLE attribute; that browsers must indicate when their ESP engine has kicked in so the user knows that what is rendered is at best an educated guess; etc. It might very well be useful to have such a spec -- something along the lines of the GNKSA[*]. It might certainly be helpful to users to have a comparison chart available, maybe with a scoring per browser or even some sort of certification. But I don't see why such requirements should be spelled out in a HTML spec. [*] <http://www.newsreaders.com/gnksa/> -- Sander Tekelenburg, <http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/>
