Sorry to butt in here, but it concerns me that as accesskey bindings frequently conflict with keyboard access to browser toolbars or plug-ins, and can also change settings in access technology that runs in the background while being sensitive to all keystrokes, such as screen readers, defined accesskeys could result in all HTML5 pages using them being inaccessible to people who navigate via keyboard or use access tech software, instead of the current situation where it is difficult only on some sites using code that conforms to specification.

In this case I suggest that HTML5 specify a number of predefined accesskeys for common functionality including those useful for WebApps.
