Wow, this is good news.

I wonder why option-tab instead of just tab -- Seems unnecessarily weird.

What does option plus arrows do?

Wondering why not just space.

So, are js kb events triggered when in inputs?
Does it respect tabindex values? Or, are only links and inputs focusable?

Interestingly, it seems latest iOS does now allow some modicum of keyboard navigation even without VO enabled (in combination with the OPTION key). So OPTION+TAB, OPTION+SHIFT+TAB work, as do OPTION+ARROWS, 
OPTION+SPACE (to scroll the view), ENTER to a activate things. There
still seem to be some gaps (for instance, not worked out yet how to navigate options in a <select> purely with the keyboard) though.
