SC 4.1.10 to include override of author supplied bindings that the user agent can *recognize*. Override of author bindings is not included in the current SC. We have discussed it several times, but never acted. UAAG20 SC 4.1.10 http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-UAAG20-20080312/#principle-operable <old> 4.1.10 User Override any Binding: The user can override any binding that is part of the user agent default input configuration except for conventional bindings for the operating environment (e.g., for access to help). The keyboard combinations offered for rebinding include single key and key plus modifier keys if these are available in the operating environment. </old> <proposed> 4.1.10 User Override any Binding: The user can override any binding that is part of the user agent default input configuration except for conventional bindings for the operating environment (e.g., for access to help). The user can override any author supplied content keybinding (i.e. access key) that the user agent can *recognize*. The keyboard combinations offered for rebinding include single key and key plus modifier keys if these are available in the operating environment. Note: *recognize* is a defined term. With AJAX and other scripting authors can create keybindings of which the UA is unaware and has no ability to allow the user to reassign keybindings.
