--- Comment #4 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> 2010-10-14 08:47:18 UTC ---
Setting the "accesskey" attribute results in the element having an "assigned
access key".
- http://c.whatwg.org/m#the-accesskey-attribute
- http://c.whatwg.org/m##assigned-access-key
An element that has an assigned access key defines a command.

http://c.whatwg.org/m#using-the-accesskey-attribute-to-define-a-command-on-other-elements
An element that defines a command, whose Type facet is "command", and that is a
descendant of a menu element whose type attribute in the list state has strong
native semantics and implied ARIA semantics giving it a menuitem role.
- http://c.whatwg.org/m#annotations-for-assistive-technology-products-(aria)
So, if you have a page like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<title>Demo</title>
<menu>
<h1 accesskey="a">Demo</h1>
</menu>
...then the <h1> element will have the role "menuitem".
This seems pretty clear in the spec, and is a rather obscure edge case (and one
that, at least for <h1>, is pretty useless and not especially interesting to
authors), so I don't really see why an example would help here.
Could you clarify whether you really want an example for this? It's not clear
to me how authors would benefit from one.
