Good start, but a couple of things:

It worked on a page with 2 items, but then on a longer page, a
notification message comes down:

TODO REM no listed things on this page

Also, pages seemed to be loading rather slowly, I checked out the new
code and there is now 60K of javascript files that are getting
included in every page load. This seems kind of hefty and is obviously
a lot of code for a browser to churn through.

I had thought kbd nav would also include selecting different feeds,
etc. I tend to use Page Up and Page Down for scrolling through pages.
I read this page:
http://www.quirksmode.org/viewport/compatibility.html

Which discusses compliant means for doing scrolling methods. Combined
with "Access Keys", it's possible to do:
--
<script type=3D"text/javascript">
function fr_scroll(inc)
{
        var x,y;

        if (self.pageYOffset) // all except Explorer
        {
                x =3D self.pageXOffset;
                y =3D self.pageYOffset;
        }
        else if (document.documentElement &&
document.documentElement.scrollTop)        // Explorer 6 Strict
        {
                x =3D document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
                y =3D document.documentElement.scrollTop;
        }
        else if (document.body) // all other Explorers
        {
                x =3D document.body.scrollLeft;
                y =3D document.body.scrollTop;
        }
        scrollTo(0,y+inc);
}
</script>
<a href=3D"javascript:scroll(0,0)" accesskey=3D"h">Top</a>
<a href=3D"javascript:fr_scroll(-200)" accesskey=3D"j">Up</a>
<a href=3D"javascript:fr_scroll(200)" accesskey=3D"k">Down</a>

I think the marking is *very* good idea - though I couldn't test it on
a large number of feeds. How does it know to jump to the next feed
item to be read? I guess it can get the X,Y page location of the next
check-box and then scrollTo(x,y) that location.

In the end, I'm not sure what all the ReFeeds js stuff is including,
but I think it's too heavy handed for just up/down and marking stuff.
I think we'll be better served by writing up our own JS code that's
smaller. The above code does scroll up/down (albeit with ctrl-j,
ctrl-k) and I would think the mark would be straight-forward?
