I'm still a bit uncomfortable loosing the text of #3, most especially the
first bullet: "provide mechanisms for: * moving the keyboard focus into and
out of an application". I wonder if there is some way to capture this,
perhaps as a note or otherwise in advisory material (e.g. external to the
draft regulations, but on the Access Board website as expository,
explanatory information)? I think that folks making browsers & browser
plug-ins are missing the fact that this requirement
applies to them as well.

Peter,

We could add a note to Keyboard operation but there are already 4 notes
there now. This seems like a candidate for the explanatory material we have
planned to start collecting. I'll try to get something set up today so that
we can start collecting this information.
