For what it's worth, dojo's (dijit's) keyboard handling of tabpanel uses 
TAB to move from the tab into the page itself [1].  Thus, it's analogous 
to how toolbars work -- TAB to the toolbar/tabs, arrow among the 
tools/tabs, TAB away from the toolbar/tabs.

Dojo has a "closable" attribute for tabs, but I suspect it's specific to 
the internals of the toolkit.  I'm wondering if there is an ARIA 
equivalent property that could be used instead.  I'll take a look.
