Personally I've never been fond of using ARIA Tab constructs for accordions,
because it's impossible to tell the difference between a tab group and an
inline accordion, because the feedback is the same for screen reader users.
E.G if you have a tab group nested in an accordion, how do you know which is
which for instance, which may be important because accordions render content
inline whereas tabs render content after a tablist group.
Is there something wrong with just keeping it simple?

Subject: [WebAIM] Accordion semantics?
Thoughts on the best semantic for an accordion component?
I'm good with the keyboard and ARIA recommendations in the ARIA Authoring
guide:
http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#accordion
I'm just don't care for the semantics in their only example:

Paired headings and divs as the way to go?
Thanks,
Jesse
