Purely technically I guess that structures such as WAI-ARIA tabs and HTML5 menus offer better semantics than lists to represent such menu components. Firefox seems to support these but currently support on other browsers (and AT) is lagging behind and both are current draft specifications, making it effectively not viable for many websites. I guess that currently you would need to either build in the work around that Eric described or choose not to support a non-complaint browser as we will probably need to do with BAD.
