Good evening, I am rather new to this list and am curious if anytime recently there has been discussion about adding tabstrip and tab elements to the html5 spec? The concept of a tabstrip is a rather commonly used UI component on the web (web-applications, content management systems, facetted searches) and it would be particularly useful for accessibility if we could communicate the semantics of the tabstrip through markup.
My definition for a tabstrip is a collection of items (tabs) of which one is "active" or "selected", each tab usually will perform an action when activated. Possible markup for tabs with no function (informational only). <tabstrip> <tab>Apple</tab> <tab selected>Orange</tab> <tab>Peach</tab> </tabstrip> For active elements like links anchor or buttons could be used within each tab.
