Why would accesskeys conflict with built-in browser shortcuts?  Isn't
the point of different browsers handling accesskeys differently that
they pick a shift that doesn't conflict with their built-ins?

It seems to me that the javascript method is the one which may
conflict with built-in browser shortcuts on some browsers.  But I
guess at the moment, we only have a few javascript interpreters which
work correctly in the librarian pages?

If I've understood this right, I think we should attempt to fall back
on accesskeys because they shouldn't conflict.

Hope that helps,
