International recommendations for access keys are?

Hi Geof,

Access keys should be used carefully to prevent any conflict with
the
browser and or assisstive technology's short cut keys.

add the following to wats dot ca "/show.php?contentid=32"
and
"/show.php?contentid=43" and read some good articles.

I am not a big fan of access keys even though I understand
that it would
help some disabled users. However implementation
of the access keys
need a broad research to prevent accessibility
problems it may cause to
other users.
