RE: G 2.1 and L3SC1 are no different?

I understand you're point.  But I feel that the benefit of reminding authors to use accel keys outweighs the purity here. 

Yes, KB doesn't mean anything, in that it can mean many different things, UA may not know how to hook the calls, etc.  It is still a net benefit, imho, to suggest that content, and more importantly apps, be designed with alternative control surfaces to the mouse.

The content author knows nothing about the keyboards his or her readers 
use.

They are not questions of Web content and should not be in WCAG. Clearer?
