This is not entirely true.

If the author uses a server side image map - the user agent is helpless in
providing keyboard access  
(MouseKeys - is explicitly excluded as "keyboard access").

This is not HTML 4.01 specific.   Many technologies may have elements that
can be operated only with a mouse.

Because you can't run your mail program?

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?
