HTML accesskey attribute

What does this mean: "the value must be an ordered set of unique space-separated tokens"?

It means that the attribute:

  • can accept multiple keys
  • each key name (token) may not contain spaces
  • a space must come between each key name
  • you shouldn't use the same key name twice
  • the order of the keys is important

I think accesskey in HTML 4 can only accept a single key character, but there is a proposal in HTML 5 for it to accept multiple characters (tokens) so if a device does not have a key for the first character specified it can bind the element to the next, and so on.
