[Bug 23871] FKA: Need contextual scoping for tabindex

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23871

--- Comment #1 from James Craig <jcraig@apple.com> ---
I noticed that Léonie added the accessibility keywords, so I just wanted to
clarify that this not an assistive technology issue, as ATs like screen readers
have the ability to navigate non-linearly in a variety of ways.

This bug is about the fact that HTML is generally tedious to navigate with a
keyboard, and while it's possible to resolve some of these problems in web
applications using techniques like "roaming tabindex" and other "focus
management" techniques, it's a non-trivial amount of work. HTML should not
require authors to do an exorbitant amount of work to implement a useable
keyboard behavior in web applications, regardless if their need is related to
accessibility, personal preference, or general usability.
