RE: Standard access keys?

Carl,

This has been hashed through many times on this and other lists.  We suggest
that attempting to implement AccessKeys is actually potentially harmful and
really not that useful.  See our article:
http://wats.ca/resources/accesskeys/19

Hope this helps, or at least causes you to really think through your idea...
