Leaving aside the issue that accesskeys may not be the best idea (in their current implementation) in the first place, I'd strongly suggest that it cannot be the role of a SPAN inside an A (or other element that can receive focus and supports accesskey) to communicate the accesskey. This must remain an attribute of the relevant parent element (again, even if it's contested whether or not this implementation is fundamentally flawed in the first place). -- Patrick H.
