Re: What are your hopes for vee oh two point oh?

Actually, in safari, using vo keys, right arrow does indeed go to the  
right, and down arrow goes down.  The difficulty is that right arrow  
wraps back to the left side when it reaches the end of the line.  I  
personally like this behavior, and would prefer for it to remain that  
way, but I can see where this could cause problems for some, so  
perhaps it should be a toggle.
You can clearly see this behavior if you're in a table.  A lot of  
folks say vo doesn't work very well with tables, but I've not had too  
much trouble with them once I discovered how the different navigation  
options work.  Right arrow will move to the next column in the table,  
while down arrow will take me to the next row.  I think that's great,  
and just the way it should work.
And, it does give you a sound when it wraps to the next line, so I  
generally use the right arrow when navigating pages, unless I know  
what I'm looking for is under the item I'm on at the moment.  Then  
down arrow is much faster than going to all the other things on the  
current line plus whatever is in front of the item I want.
It saaves quite a bit of time.
Also, don't forget, the arrows wrap back to the top (or bottom  
depending on your direction) and I use this feature a lot too.  For  
example, on brainbench.com there's lots of stuff on the login page I  
really don't care about, but a up arrow followed by a left arrow puts  
me on the go button which is the one I need to log in so it's down to  
just two keystrokes to get to that button instead of a dozen or more  
navigating the rest of the page to get to it.
