I don't think the proposed solution is correct:

 - The `aria-labelledby` attribute of the tab panel is set to its own id, which 
does not add any useful information as the tab panel does not contain a 
human-readable label.
 - The `aria-labelledby` attribute of the table is set to the default tab which 
is correct in the default view, but it should be updated to the current tab 
when one other than the default tab is selected.

Looking at [this 
example](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/tab_role#example)
 as a blueprint, I think the solution should be the following:

 - Add an `aria-label` attribute to the tab panel explaining its purpose, e.g. 
"Tabs for selecting table contents".
 - Keep the `aria-labelledby` attribute in the table with the id of the default 
tab as in the current PR.
 - Add code in `script.js` to update the table `aria-labelledby` attribute when 
a different tab is selected.
