So you just want the guidelines to say the the attibute ACCESSKEY is good for accessibility in the current section 7 and I am assuming that you want the features needed for accessible implementation be be in the techniques document? I think it would make it clearer to developers if they saw the access key implementation information as part of other navigation commands. If it is only in the compatibility section, it will not have the weight or the visibility of a checkpoint.
