Next and Previous Accesskey

for

I've read some online articles about standard ACCESSKEY assignments. For an
on-line magazine or book, or perhaps a search results situation, where
content is delivered in individual pages, and Next/Previous navigation is
important, are there any "standard" ACCESSKEY assignments recommended for
these 2 functions?

It seems like you could use "N" for Next and "P" for Previous, but that is
English-only, and using any letters can conflict with other expected browser
functionality. I could randomly pick unused numbers on our site (say 5 and
6), but would rather go with something standard, even if a fledgling
standard.
