The tab order and reading order of context menus should be defined in the spec to clarify usage.

Status: Did Not Understand Request
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: I don't understand. Wouldn't this be a platform-specific issue? What is the interoperability concern with the tab order of context menus? Indeed, do menus support tabbing at all on any platform?

The HTML Accessibility Task Force intends to track these issues, per the proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0245.html.

Close as far as the HTML bug tracker is concerned. Refer the issue to be addressed in an external user interface recommendations document, initially to be coordinated by the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines Working Group.
