I'm +0...  never liked the HTML attribute much, but there's
demand for it...  Two design questions before going forward:

 - Should it be tabindex or tabIndex?
   Trinidad generally uses camel-case.  I prefer tabIndex.

 - Should the attribute be on components that ordinarily do not
   have navigation?
   Danny says "all components".  You could, in theory, put tabindex
   on a ordinary span in HTML, so we could add it to outputText,
   etc...  However, I'd rather not - it's extra overhead for a rarely
   used feature, and unused attributes *are* a performance problem,
   especially for outputText and panel components.

I noted Eric created issue ADFFACES-482 to have tabindex added to all
components.  I know this has come up before and general comments were around
its limitations, however even with its limitations (ie. no dynamic
calculation for subviews etc.) I still feel it would be better to have this
attribute than the complete lack of support for any navigation ordering that
Trinidad has currently.
