>I would like to also propose that we change >guideline 3.2 to include control method in addition to presentation, >ie. the content should be independent of both the presentation and >the method of control (e.g., keyboard, mouse, keyboard or mouse >emulation). OK, except where the UA/browser maps the mouse event to the keyboard event. For example, onMouseClick is mapped by IE, Mozilla, etc to the enter key, so the enter key and/or the mouse fire the same event. I found the issue that when adding a redundant device event, such as onKeyPress, two events get fired causing all kinds of havoc on the server. So, it's only a few cases where this isn't handled by the UA and not the author/content, which is also per UAAG.
