The point is that the browser should show what accesskeys are available - especially since the browser may map the keys to other ones, or do something different. I like sites that say somewhere on the page what they have done, including setting up accesskey. I don't like sites that claim I can follow a link that has an accesskey by pressing alt, the key, then enter - most browsers I use don't work like that, including IE for the Mac. There are a number of strategies possible. The user might not care or want to know, or they might like to have a bar like the links bar of favourites bar in some browsers, they might like a visual marker in the page like iCab does, or a list in a window.
