 > I wouldn't say that it's limited just to the publish box. There are
 plenty of tickets open regarding 'action' links ( see
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/26167 for an example ) where a
 solution to this problem could be applied.

 Yes, these are similar symptoms of the same problem: the existing UI has
 no room for meaningful, unique links.

 > It also provides theme and plugin developers with a sanctioned method
 for solving this problem.

 This is already what I was afraid of. :)

 If you have any control over the layout, ''please'' avoid such a situation
 and this workaround. Create unique links which your users can hit on a
 touch screen or search for per keyboard easily.

 The markup we’re discussing here doesn’t really solve the problem
 described the title, just a small part of it. Remember the `accesskey`
 disaster: many people concluded from its name this would be something good
 to have. It wasn’t. That’s why I think we should not suggest in the name
 that this a proper solution. It isn’t.
