I admit that I totally failed to think through "tab in the omnibox" -- I was
thinking about all the other cases.

That said, we've had TONS of requests to make tab from the omnibox work
differently (i.e. "like how other browsers do it"):
* When the popup is open, tab rotates through its items
* Otherwise, tab moves to the next focusable element

I kind of regret that we picked tab for "tab to search" because it prevents
both of these, and I'm not sure we can change it now.  It does seem like a
bug somehow that you can tab into the omnibox but not out, but I don't know
how to fix :(

This has been requested a few times, and brakowski suggested it long ago as
a replacement for the "home" button -- if you can drag a bookmark onto your
main toolbar, and give it an alt-home shortcut, then you have your own
"home" button.
