You can change them in JavaScript *after* they're set to defaults in the HTML. Shall we change all the "http://foo" URLs to "javascript:document.location='http://foo%27%22? After all, accessibility only means blind people using JavaScript, right! Sigh........
Not quite the same thing, is it? An access key that's completely unintuitive can be as inaccessible as one that collides with another one set by the browser/os or one that has a misleading 'alt-x' label instead of a the proper 'shift-esc-x' for the opera browser somebody's using. Which are the users that will have a problem with this setup?
I added all those access keys and tooltips in 1.3, and only in the PHPTal skin. The 'standard', 'nostalgia' and 'cologneblue' skins don't have these access keys at all, i'd say practically no access keys are a bigger problem than user-configurable ones set from js with helpful labels.
