+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #10905 +++

in the editor states "for example any element with accesskey="" can end up
having a role."
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10603

yet it is not specified in the spec (that I can find) how the adding of an
accesskey to "any element" affects  its role 

for example how is the role of the following affected by the presence of an
accesskey?

<h1 accesskey="a">poot</h1>

or

<p accesskey="a">pooter</a>

or 

<td accesskey="a">pootsville</a>
