== Remove the use of printable character from accessKey attribute. ==
5.5.2 The accessKey attribute
http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/editing.html#the-accesskey-attribute

The accessKey attribute is now defined to be a single Unicode code 
point with it being a single printable character. We are proposing a 
change to the restriction limiting the accessKey to a single Unicode 
code point. There are examples where a single key stroke could result 
in multiple code points. For example, on the Hindi INSCRIPT keyboard 
layout on Windows the TRA key (on number 6) when pressed generates the
 following Unicode code point sequence: U+0924 (TA) + U+094D (Virama) 
+ U+0930 (RA).

We suggest the following wording:

If specified, the value must consist of a string representing an 
available keystroke. For most languages, this will be a single 
printable Unicode code point.
