In my 100% table example it's the body that scrolls in most browsers,
same difference I suppose.

For Firefox and Seamonkey all one has to do is tab about until the body
has focus. Once the body has focus you can scroll all you like with the
keyboard.

Although I really think this issue is about the scrolling, at least in my
example, is not an accessibility issue, but rather a UA issue that has
very limited keyboard shortcuts and perhaps a lack of knowledge or
willingness to use of them.
