link_to(name, options = {}, html_options = nil,  
*parameters_for_method_reference)

The reason is that if you omit the curly braces, all of the hash  
values are considered to be part of the first hash parameter of  
link_to,  "options". However, accesskey and title belong to the  
"html_options" parameter, so you need to separate the two hashes with  
curlies. Using the braces around both hashes makes it also easier to  
read the code later on.
