 > The options are:
 > * Leave positioning as now - ie at the top

 Great, as long as the `home`/`Pos1` button works.

 > * Move buttons to bottom of Customizer 'sidebar'
 > * Have two sets of buttons - at the top and the bottom

 > From a usability and accessibility perspective I certainly favour the
 second or the third.  If current status quo maintained then keyboard users
 (inc screen reader users) will need to reverse tab up through all the bits
 to get back to the Save button.

 Why? As a keyboard user I have no problem hitting `home`. But having more
 tab stations is often rather annoying (that’s why I preferred the old
 admin menu).

 > When will I be able to see the 'finished' Theme Customizer and test for
 accessibility? I'm downloading the nightly builds but I'm guessing it's
 not in there yet?

 This takes some time, the Nightly is rebuild just once per day. I’m
 waiting for that too. :)
