assignments. Could you post the links?

http://diveintoaccessibility.org/day_15_defining_keyboard_shortcuts.html

http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/accesskey.html

are a few good ones.

>> Specificaly on your question, I'm not sure that accesskeys are necessary
at all
for Next and Previous page, since browsers support this navigation by
default.

Do you mean using <link> tags in the <head> section? If so, I think MSIE
doesn't support those. Or if it does, I'm not seeing it. (I agree they are a
good idea.)

>> We decided to use numbers rather than letters, to minimise conflicts with
browsers and screen-readers, and avoid language dependencies.

Same here.
