Could you explain the need for keyboard focus a bit more more? E.g. does it only mean that one should be able to jump to an image with a @longdesc via the tabulator key? Then, imagine a page with 10 images were only one of them has longdesc: does it make sense to be able to jump to only that single image? Can't the keyboard focus be achieved by via @tabindex instead? I have not checked what the spec says about @tabindex, but a value of "0" (tabindex="0") seems to make an element without lifting out of the natural focus order. Leif Halvard Silli
