I haven't taken the time to write up a use case in more detail. But at Yandex we build a massive amount of web content (hundreds of millions of views per day) in something like the way I described. My initial off-the-cuff thinking was some attribute that would scope the tabindex, analagous to the "itemscope" attribute in microdata. Which might be the same as your idea. But perhaps I need to think harder. In the meantime I'll go back to some of the teams who produce these things at Yandex - they might have futher ideas. cheers -- Charles McCathie Nevile - web standards - CTO Office, Yandex chaals@yandex-team.ru - - - Find more at http://yandex.com
