I confirmed with Aaron that keys which are made "active" by Web 2.0 Javascript functions (using onkeypress/onkeydown handlers, usually) are not exposed as accesskeys or through the DOM. Usually they are standard navigation keys (like arrows, Tab, spacebar, etc) used for navigating similar controls in dialogs, menus, and views. If not standard keys, the author of the Web application needs to document the keys in the help for the application. Documenting unique Web application keys should be a WCAG requirement, not UAAG.
