RE: use of access keys (was: Next and Previous Accesskey)

I think, as often happens, this discussion has degenerated into a discussion of accessibility for the blind.
Let's remember that users can have a variety of special needs, severities of those needs, and methods to overcome them.
The blind aren't the only people who can benefit from accesskeys. The problem, as I see it, is not only the reserved keys of a variety of possible user-agents but also OS as well.
Has anyone ever assembled a comprehensive list of reserved keys? Such a list would probably be invaluable in making a decision about what keys to use.
