David,
Take a look at WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices tooltip design pattern: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-practices/#tooltip

My understanding is that keyboard interaction for ARIA widgets is based on standard OS keyboarding. The design pattern also describes how to dismiss tooltips that appear on focus (without user action) as well as the more common type where the user decides when to see the tooltip.
