<blockquote>Besides the search results and error page issues, here is
another scenario:
A Web application with components that appear like tabs which are placed in
a hierarchy of 2 or 3 rows. The screen reader reads all of these as ordinary
links although they are not made to appear as links.
This is an application for a fed agency . </blockquote>

This brings up a whole discussion of simulated controls. With the WAI Roles
document still in draft I think we need to address sufficient information
in the web standard similar to 1194.21D. This includes state and possible
focus.
