(Just for the sake of completness, in case someone else actually gives it a 
thought.)

For non-English (Latin, or otherwise) users, even more important and 
frequently used action shortcuts (Ctrl combos) haven't got any mnemonic 
meaning. So I see no reason to insist on it for Alt-accelerators in 
dialogs, especially since these are used at any capacity only by more apt 
users (sanity checks welcome :)
