Hm, I think they work both a little different. Opening and closing
animations are chained in tabs but happen simultanously in accordion.
But more important, the underlying structure is quite different as well.
The tab has one list of links pointing to containers succeding that
list, like link/link/link, container/container/container, while the
accordion is a sequence of link, container, link, container, ...

The benefit of passing in an XPath/CSS expression is, that it is ready
to use in the script. I don't want to parse the sructure from a given
HTML structure (string) first. I think that is fairly easy in usage, you
can use CSS or XPath, whatever you are more comfortable with.
