Jesper!

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.
