F10 on W32 does start keyboard traversal on menus on Microsoft applications 
and others, and it is listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301583. 
How more standard does it get?  The difference between for example Gnome is 
that Gnome opens the first menu, but W32 does not.

If they used Gnome or W32 they should be.  Don't know about KDE though.
