Re: Issue 650 Does the Hover or focus SC apply to tabbed interfaces?

> A tab set switches content, it doesn’t show additional content.

I think that is a concept we'll have to introduce, as I've never heard that
distinction before...

I'm guessing you mean "switches content within a consistent location on the
page which was there on page load" or something like that... I could agree
with that but I think we'll need to articulate that and draw a bright line
between switching content and adding content... we'll need to define when
its one and not the other.

Technically, I think a tabbed interface and a help button could use almost
the same technology to show the content. display:none to display:block ...
so we'll have to distinguish them conceptually in UI terms or something.

I do think the line "dismiss the additional content without moving pointer
hover or keyboard focus" is weird, because the user has to move the pointer
to hit the "x" ... how would a mouse user dismiss a popup without moving
the mouse?

Cheers,
David MacDonald
