I'm not so sure. That page relies on a:active to make the overlay visible. As log a you keep the mouse button down, the whole thing will remain visible – the a will remain in an active state. But release the mouse button, and the overlay vanishes. Of course, one could argue that the <a> still should remain in a focussed state (in which case the styling still works, as the page author has styled the a:focus to match the a:active state). The question is: does releasing the mouse button when the overlay covers the <a> keep that focussed state, or does that action transfer the focus to the overlay - which then vanishes because the <a> is no longer focussed nor 'active' ? That gallery page works more or less OK for the keyboard user, with one (serious) caveat: the user has to cycle through the whole gallery before being able to escape out of the overlay and return to the page.
