No, I think Havoc is right.

Netscape is broken in several important areas regarding keyboard 
navigation - please don't use it as a measure!

You need to be able to do this without accelerators also.  Though 
accelerators are useful, if you can't see them you have to be able to 
move focus to them without the mouse (at which point assistive 
technology can tell you about the accelerators).
