Sorry Andy, I hadn't got the <link> in the <head> aspect, reading too quickly! That has been proposed before, I can't find it now but I'm sure the used to be an article about it (on WATS.ca?). It also used to be implemented in Opera and Mozilla, but so few people used it I think it's hidden away now. (It's called the "navigation bar" in Opera under view > toolbars). In it's included in the ARIA roadmap as the HTML equivalent to their main XHMTL path: http://www.w3.org/TR/aria-roadmap/#landmarks (Another reason I was confused about what you were suggesting.) One important distinction is that this would go to another page: <link rel="home" href="http://www.example.com/index.htm"> Whereas the landmarks in ARIA are aimed at navigating within a page: <link rel="x2:navigation" href="#bottomnav-links" title="Quick Links"> http://www.w3.org/TR/aria-roadmap/#fig3 So long as the definition of keys moves away from the web developer, I'll be happy...
