"An element that is focusable, has an assigned access key, and is [not an  
element that already defines a command], defines a command."
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/interactive-elements.html#using-the-accesskey-attribute-to-define-a-command

Please remove "that is focusable, ", since it seems pointless to require  
that e.g.

    <div accesskey=a onclick=foo()>test</div>

should have an assigned access key that does nothing.
