I don't know if it will help anyone but I added some of my own research to
the above blog... couldn't find a list of 'reserved access keys' so I
created one. I've had a requirement on a past project where I had to have an
accesskey for every link on the page, so determining the maximum number of
accesskeys (and thus links per page in my app) that could be used on a
single page became somewhat critical. Unfortunately Safari wasn't available
at the time and I haven't looked into it, but I listed the reserved keys for
IE, NS, and Opera.
