This CSS is very nice:

label:after {content:"(" attr(accesskey) ") "}

where accesskey attribute is set in <label>, automatically displays the accesskey attribute after the <label> element (you need to i18n the accesskey attribute)

The after pseudo-element also works for widget elements, e.g.

input:after {content:"(" attr(accesskey) ") "}

where accesskey attribute is set in <input> widget

Additional clever ways to use attr(accesskey) are described in:

This works only for Mozilla, Netscape6+, Konqueror, and Safari. No MSIE; although I haven't checked MSIE 6.x.  (Personally, I don't care.)
