I invite anybody who thinks that any form of key definition in
*net-served* HTML is a good idea to think about the wonder world of
risks that is opened when keys that are traditionally used for
page-forward, select-anchor, add-bookmark, abort-request, etc. get
used in ways that I do not even want to suggest.
Messing with keys is also not a good idea for stylesheets.
On the other hand, key-equivalents to menus in browsers that run
under GUI's are very good to have, especially when they are user
configurable and when the browser's menus show the key combinations,
reflecting a user's pre-loaded alterations, if any, of browser
defaults.
Have a safe day!
