Hi,
Part of the issue has to do with browsers intercepting keystrokes such as control+tab to switch between browser panes, and if this is hijacked by scripting then it won't be possible to do so. In many ways we have to juggle keyboard interactions for native browser keystrokes versus assistive technology keystrokes versus programmed webpage keystrokes via scripting, and often this always causes conflicts with somebody. Also there is the issue of discoverability, so unfortunately it gets sort of complicated.

As a point of note, we just finished the second half of our joint article, which has been published at "From HTML to ARIA Tabs, A Travelog | HackPoets" http://wp.me/p6Dp11-1X

All the best,
Bryan
