Description Gez Lemon 2010-01-08 10:41:52 UTC 
Spec states: "The user agent may also provide access to its default context menu, if any, with the context menu shown."

Suggest MUST, rather than MAY. There may also need to be an attribute that authors can use to say when they don't want that behavior.  Users would need to be able to override the author attribute.

Per the proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0245.html, the HTML A11Y TF does not plan to formally work on this issue at this time. This does not mean the TF has no interest in it, but does not have immediate plans to work on it. The TF may review the issue in the future.
