One would only do that if one wanted the element to receive tabbing in no special way save for its order of appearance in the text. tabindex="0" is useful. You could add a tabindex value to every <a> element on the page. The ones you wanted people to navigate through in a specific order you could assign a positive value to. The others get 0. But you're consistent in that all the <a>s have a tabindex. I could imagine this would be an issue of authoring tools more than anything. > Navigation does not start.
