Re: [w3c/uievents-key] Tasks for wide review (Issue #57)

# Accessibility

This specification simply defines a set of values that are valid for use in the KeyboardEvent's `key` attribute. Thus, it does not introduce any features that have accessibility concerns.
 
The FAST checklist has been completed and nothing is applicable to this specification.
 
A note related to the FAST checklist item: "If technology provides internationalization support". This specification inherently defines {{KeyboardEvent/key}} values that support international hardware, e.g., keyboards for different languages or layouts. It also defines many special keys which are given human-readable names (like "Shift", "Control", "Home" or "ArrowLeft").
 
These special key values are defined as human-readable strings so that code to detect special keys can be easier to understand. While these values are not intended to be exposed directly to users, there is nothing preventing that. Apps that choose to expose these values would need to determine whether or not it is appropriate to translate these strings for presentation (e.g.: presenting "Backspace" as "Suppr. arrière" for French users).
