mw.util uses much code and browser sniffing to display the access key in the
tooltip. With HTML5 there is a property to simplify this, see [1].

Using it when available has the advantage that you don't have to figure out the
correct prefix yourself, additionally it will be localized.

In Firefox 10 it works as expected:

>>> $('#n-mainpage-description a').prop('accessKeyLabel')
"Alt+Umschalt+z"

The only drawback is that you still must provide a fallback for browsers not
supporting this (including IE 9).
