default roles of elements with accesskey set

In your counterproposal to issue 129 you state
"An accurate list would be confusing to authors. For example, for each
element one would have to explicitly list that it *does* have a role if the
accesskey is set with a valid value that the user agent was able to apply"

This implies that the default role of any element is changed when an
accesskey atttribute is set. Is that correct?
