Accessible Drop Down menus using Form tag

I'm looking for clarification about making drop down menus accessible. W3C recently produced an exemplar accessibility site at http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/2005/Demo/after/

Which uses a drop-down menu, created with a Form tag with a Go button but I can't find any reference to why this is considered 'good practice' in their evaluation. Does anyone know why this method is considered the best, apart from that it doesn't use JavaScript?

Thanks

Gary
