In practice, access keys are a nice idea that doesn't work well except
in an intranet application environment, where everyone is using the
same browser and are using the application regularly.

I actually find that a combination of sensible text labelling of links
and and easy to use search within page facility allow very fast keyboard
access.  I'm particularly thinking of the "/" search command in the 
default keyboard bindings for Lynx.  Being unshifted and on the main
keyboard, it is very easy for touch typists to use.
