Re: Names for ARIA menu and menubar

Menu is not well supported currently, and it's not really been a success so
far, I'd say...
If you want to make that <nav> receive keyboard focus I'd use tabindex ...

Role=application on body is super ambitious and asking for tons of buggy
behaviour I'd say. It's the wild west still with aria and apps etc...

Cheers,
David MacDonald
