If so, I agree. I hope it didn't sound as though I don't agree. I might try to reword point d) because I am not sure what it means to "pass conflicting key combinations through to the UA" Would it suffice to say "When accelerator keys collide, the UA shall provide a way for the user to activate either action"? Is the Control-V escape code which lets a Lynx user activate browser commands when she had been in the text entry mode an example of pass-through? Al
