Sure. But users generally expect the page to work the same dependent on
usage, not dependent on their modality (which the page can't be sure of
anyway).

In principle I think it makes good sense for accesskeys not to work on
things that are disply:none. But in practice, I think Olli's argument ("it
ain't broke so lets not 'fix' it - especially in a way that breaks stuff")
is the one that carries the most weight.
