What an interesting comment about authors of accessibility bides for 
software developers.
May I see a reference supporting this stance from the w3c web access 
initiative?
www.w3c.org
Keyboard function has been a basic requirement of web access guidelines 
for  decades.
and, no, this had nothing to do with a prior thread.
instead, the comment came from a Linux users group member who, while not 
using adaptive technology at all, uses the CLI in Linux quite extensively.
Graphical clutter is not enjoyed, no idea if the article is swill on the 
wired magazine website, but there  was one with the title, "I turned off 
JavaScript for a week, and it was glorious!"
that items work with the enter key and arrow keys, even with JavaScript is 
basic.
  progressive enhancement web design should be  for developers too.
