Draft Uploader Design

[Eli Cochran]

Anastasia,
I'm glad that you brought that up. Yesterday, as I was looking over  
the designs, I started to think about what keyboard interaction would  
be for the mouseover pause button. Although I love the design, I worry  
that it might be very hard to communicate that action both for the  
keyboard and for ARIA.

Usually when I look at a design, even a complex design like this one,  
I can easy see the keyboard actions, but this one is worrying me. I  
don't want to lose the elegance of the design but we'll need to figure  
this one out.
