This note is to make a record of a conversation that Jim and I had at TPAC. He pointed out that UAAG requires user agents to provide necessary services to users for shortcuts that they can recognize. I said "and it's PFWG's job to get the formats to make sure that the UA can recognize the shortcuts that the format defines." The most immediate application of this is in the reform of ACCESSKEY in HTML5. I have given this an issue-of-record, ISSUE-85 in our tracker which will now be linked to this bit of coordination. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/85 Al PS: Where the shortcut functionality is created by scripting, and not by using a defined format feature, the format can't guarantee the browser recognizes the shortcut for a shortcut. In this case, the active content has to itself meet "software accessibility" requirements comparable to the requirements that UAAG places on the browser when the browser implements shortcut features in a format. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2008OctDec/0078.html
