Here's another data point.

Dojo has a widget called a "StackContainer" that is described as the 
basis for building a wizard, slide show, or pager.

Of note is that StackContainer's aria role is "tabpanel", each of its 
pages have the role "tab", and its keyboard a11y is identical to dojo's 
tab panel widget (TabContainer), with the exception that deleting a 
"page" is not available in a StackContainer.

Documentation: 
http://www.dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-book-0-9/part-2-dijit/layout/stack-container
Example: 
http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/layout/test_StackContainer.html

This suggests that there are a number of user interfaces (tab panel, 
accordian, wizard, pager, slide show, others?) that could be folded into 
the role of tabpanel, and whose keyboard a11y are pretty much the same.
