The point is not to add TABINDEX, but to check that the default tab order is logical. If the tab order is logical then the "user test" is done and you've met the checkpoint. "Logical" to me means the same as the visual presentation, which hopefully is usable. Bobby is simply asking one to perform the check. Bobby doesn't assume that the code is in a logical order, nor that if one adds TABINDEX, that they have checked the tab order of the whole page. Some of the tools out there today let one add a custom set of "rules" that would allow the tested to make a rule that said that if TABINDEX was added and/or if the file is in a list of "already checked files", then assume the file is in a logical tab order. otherwise flag the page as one that needs to be verified manually.
