Re: I'm still on 4.1.5

Hi,

How about:

4.1.5 User Agent Keyboard Commands: Direct keyboard commands for the 
user interface (excluding those derived from the content being rendered) 
are available:
(a) in context (e.g., keyboard shortcuts listed beside menu items) or 
via a centralized list that can be displayed by a simple keyboard 
action, and
(b) programmatically to assistive technology.

4.1.X Content Derived Keyboard Commands: Direct keyboard commands that 
are *recognized* within the content are available:
(a) in context (e.g., a button labelled with its associated access key) 
or via a centralized list that can be displayed by a simple keyboard 
action (e.g., a list of access keys), and
(b) programmatically to assistive technology.


Cheers,
Jan
