Comment(by jteh):

 Partially fixed in r2615. It is not a complete fix because pressing enter
 on one of these controls which includes text in its descendants (e.g.
 paragraph within a tab) won't work. This is because pressing enter
 currently descends to the bottom of the object hierarchy to check for a
 node to activate, which will hit the paragraph instead of the tab. This
 needs to be modified to somehow check its ancestry for a control to
 activate.

 Test cases:
  * menu: [http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/menu/menuwaiaria.html
 YUI Library Examples: Menu Family: Using the Menu ARIA Plugin] (works in
 r2615)
  * tab control: [http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/tabview/tabview-
 ariaplugin_clean.html Using the TabView ARIA Plugin]
