In response to John's comment on voice recognition - of course, it depends
on the mobility impairment. I have limited hand function, but there is no
way I can use voice recognition because my speech sucks too. Instead, I use
a joystick and a word prediction /completion software program, of which some
keyboard shortcuts overlap with IE shortcuts -- another strike against using
accesskeys. For me as a mobility impaired user, about the only real problem
I have is if links are tiny or close together, I sometimes hit the wrong
one, or if links move like with those darn fly out menus. If that helps
anyone...

Cheers,
