Are Keyboard shortcuts mandatory for 508 compliance
===

I researched a lot on this and seem to be getting conflicting answers on SO and all of the web.  I understand that with Section 508  that compliance DOES NOT equal accessibility. 

Biggest thing is that the UI/UX designer is being told that keyboard shortcuts for the dropdown menu NEEDS to have keyboard shortcuts to be 508 compliant.  I see Windows Forms applications having this, but for web development I do not think that is mandatory to be "compliant"
