YouTube and keyboard accessibility

Hello,

neither on the youtube site itself nor with youtube videos embedded elsewhere am I able to access
the controls like forward / backward slider via keyboard-only navigation. Once I have performed a
mouse-click on any control, I can navigate and get the focus via keyboard -- but if I just use the
tabulator navigation, no success.
Am I missing something?

BTW: I don't have any luck with keyboard-only navigation on vimeo.com, either...

Does anybody happen to know how to get this to work properly?

Thanks for any hints!
