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.
