Re: Addendum : User Agent Teleconference for 10 April 2008

OK....so then we seem to be agreed on:

4.1.1 Keyboard Operation: All functionality can be *operated via the
keyboard* using *sequential* and/or *direct* keyboard commands that do
not require specific timings for individual keystrokes, except where the
underlying function requires input that depends on the path of the
user's movement and not just the endpoints.

Cheers,
Jan
