It's possible, and I suppose it's being done (it's mentioned in a few 
online references to the html5 deprecation of accesskeys). But the 
advantage of the accesskey attribute is that it works in non-JS 
environments, and that I as a developer don't have to code it. I'm 
hoping it won't come to that.
