"As for accessiblity "enhancements" such as keyboard short cuts, why not
make a seperate page within your site which outlines all of the
accessibility features you have provided,"

This is a good idea. I would like to learn more about keyboard shortcuts
and how to implement them is there a site I could learn more about this?
Also, I have never seen a site that has a separate page dedicated to
keyboards shortcuts, does you know a URL of where I can see an example?

And while I am writing to the list and we are talking about alt tags, I
had to remove all alt tags from images because our designer (I am a
developer) did not want them showing up when the mouse was over the
images, I replaced the alt tags with longdesc tags. Is this helpful at
all or bad form?

Thanks,
Kim
