The last sentence was misleading. It should be:
This way you can comply to the accessibility guidelines without technical
problems.

> onclick reacts to the keyboard, too, IMHO. At least when pressing

You are right, but the problem is:

Nobody really knows why, but you are forced to use "onkeypress" when using
"onclick" to comply to the accessibility guidelines. If you don't you won't
get AAA.
But the simple use of "onkeypress" with the same function you are using for
"onclick" will trigger the function even if you just TAB through the links
in all browsers.
To avoid this stupid behaviour you have to use onkeypress="this.onclick".
Only IE works fine without that hack.
