Please be *VERY CAREFUL* when you start talking about "standards" - especially when it comes to accesskeys. The only place this is a quasi-standard is with the UK government, and it's implementation is far from wide-spread. Further, it conflicts with other pre-mapped keystrokes, which is why I still won't shut up about accesskeys. Finally, I've yet to locate the ALT key on a Mac keyboard... It is fine to have opinions, so long as they are clearly indicated as such; categorically stating something that is fact when it is not does all a dis-service.
