I think we should keep them because "accessKey" attribute implementation is different for different elements.
Eg. For Input element(type=text) it sets the Focus while for anchor element it simulates click events.
Ref :  http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/html/InputType.cpp#L445 and http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/html/HTMLAnchorElement.cpp#L236

Or else should we move these implementations to HTMLElement::accessKeyAction() with if checks for each different element as you suggests.
