Re: avoiding tabbing through drop downs

So if one added an item to the drop down list, one wuld have to add a link
elsewhere for accessibility, correct?
I am always skeptical about a project that requires a non obvious specific
action for accessibility. It is so easy to add an item to a menu but forget
to add a link to it on a different page, in which case you now have a
limited access to screen reader users.
I guess that is what Geoff means by Two Beer accessibility, but it is worse
in a sense, since it could easily turn into partial accessibility.
