Perhaps the UI Guidlines should take a new look at this.
Perhaps, all button options could be invoked by pressing
<cmd> + the first letter of the button name. This practice
is sure to save a lot of mousing around.

As for use of the <esc> key, i'd love it as the standard 
cancel. In the end rules are made to be modified, since they
tend to challenge thoughts and provoke better or compromising
solutions.

Then again, since this is object land, just subclass the appropiate
classes, and rock on. Your app will probably start a trend.
