[i18n-activity] Normalization and accesskey

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== Normalization and accesskey ==
5.5.2. The accesskey attribute
http://w3c.github.io/html/editing.html#the-accesskey-attribute

>  Decomposed characters in Normalization Form D, such as accesskey="ñ" to assign ñ as a shortcut, are not valid values, and in many browsers no shortcut will be assigned. Characters in Normalization Form C are valid values. Printable characters that may represent more than one Unicode code point, such as accesskey="श्र", are valid values. 

I can't see why ñ would be invalide while श्र is valid. They are both just sequences of characters.

Perhaps what the spec is trying to say is rather along the lines of the following?

> Decomposed characters, such as accesskey="ñ" to assign ñ as a shortcut, do not match keys that produce the comparable precomposed character (ñ). Printable characters that may represent more than one Unicode code point, such as accesskey="श्र", are valid values.
