Finished downloads have a "show in finder" command, which is extremely useful and doesn't appear anywhere else in the UI.  The "properties" command would be useful if it worked.

Also, I think it would make sense to turn the "open" / "remove" / "cancel" links into buttons and leave them out of the tab order.  Then the only way to access them using the keyboard will be to use the context menu.
