This is an accessibility.tabfocus problem.  If accessibility.tabfocus is set to allow any element to be focused, you are able to tab through your SVG site.  Try accessibility.tabfocus = 7.

Firefox is susceptible to this problem as well.  By default, it takes its accessibility.tabfocus setting from the Keyboard system preference pane.  When the option in that pane is set to the default, allowing only text boxes and lists to take focus, it is not possible to tab through your SVG site.

Camino doesn't respect the system pref because (from cvs log) "this
best matches user expectation as nobody knows about the system pref, or that
that particular pref would impact camino's content area tabbing."  Bug 277706, to which I am duping this bug, is about putting this option in Camino's preferences UI.  Until then, you have access to about:config.

Camino does support key events for SVG.  Here are two examples you brought to our attention on another bug that function as well as they should in any Gecko browser:

Mark,

thanks, and apologies, I'm known for having a very poor memory and simply forgot that I had to fiddle with about:config sometime last year.

hope the preferences UI gets resolved before I bring this issue up again ~:"

Mark & Mike,

I'd like to reopen this bug as the keycode example no longer works for me.
and the tetris is pretty broken in camino compared with minefield or opera.
the time delay makes it unplayable imho.

cheers
