from the user prospective if you let the tab key be used the user may not
know witch tab is selected in the end its key to not use the tab key so
that the user can be sure the last interaction with the tab selection is
there choice let me give a sample in the gmail settings tabs let you tab
through them. as you tab throu the tab itself is selected. the user finds
the settings pannal they want and then they keep tabbing and dam if it does
not chage the selected tab so in this sinarryo the user needs to figure
out how the hell to pick the second tab and then skip over the rest of the
tabs and move to the contents of the tab if these were just aero selectable
tabs that problem would not happen
