 > Am testing this functionality using the keyboard only and it is
 impressive what is now possible. There are some small issues however:
 >
 > 1. I can tab to the sliders for selecting the Background Colours but I
 am unable to influence the first one (the colour) using the keyboard. The
 arrow keys don't appear to do anything. It is possible to influence the
 second slider, although the default position at the bottom of the track
 means the functionality of the main colour slider is not obvious.

 Nice catch.  There is a separate ticket for this now: #22475.

 > 2. Also, in Background Colours, it is not possible to tab to any of the
 colour blocks beneath the first slider - yet they are clickable.

 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/21283/21283.11.diff
 21283.11.diff] fixes this.

 > 3. Interacting with the header image - I can successfully tab through
 the images and select one by pressing the enter key. However it appears to
 be then impossible to re-select the default image. I can tab to the
 Default link but pressing Enter doesn't appear to do anything.

 Are your referring to the "default" tab just above the images?  If so,
 that is just a tab, not a link.  It does look kind of odd to have a single
 tab there, but if you've uploaded an image (through Appearance) another
 (uploaded) tab appears before it.

 > 5. In Static Front Page the first tab stop is the radio button group.
 There is no visible focus on the radio buttons. (Suggest also that the
 labels are amplified for screen reader users to explain what's happening -
 the labels voice "Your latest posts" without the context of 'Front page
 displays'.)

 This section needs to be updated with whatever we end up using for #16379.

 > Hope this helps.

 This is a huge help.  Thank you!

 I'll try and address items 4, 6 & 7 this weekend, if no one beats me to
 them.
