CMN: In the meantime, if people use it, they can go for things that already work (seems like there are a handful of numbers) or can hope that it gets fixed and so use the spec as is. GJR: actually, the accesskey palette need not be limited to either alphabetic or numeric symbols/glyphs - it is possible to use character-entity codes for non-alpha-numeric characters, such as those widely deployed in programming/markup languages: at least, the at-sign (@), the pound/number-sign (#), the dash (-), equals signs (=), greater- and less-than signs, back- and forward-slashes, etc., some/many of which are available/prevalant on handheld devices (depends upon the device, naturally) in any event, i've attached a copy of a document that tests support for non-alphanumeric accesskeys - it is part of the implementation tests i marked up for UAAG - note that the test portion of the page is complete; it is only the preamble that is incomplete - please note as well that i didn't change the mailto link in the "How to Provide Feedback" section to point to the GL or xtech lists - it still points to the UA list, so exercise due caution when providing feedback from within the document... gregory.
