1. Jonathan, can you post that conversation here, or link to it, I'd
like to read it.
Yes, there are occasionally reasons for sometimes using tabindex="0",
Ihave yet to find any reason for using tabindex>0 (it always ends up a
mess).

2. Wel, if you need to format a disabled formfield you can use
aria-disabled="true" use CSS to make it look disabled, and use
Javascript to make sure user can't interact with it.
In any case, isn't it more politically correct to call them "form
fields with disabilities" rather than "disabled form fields"? ;)
