Description

Currently accordion does not support a keyboard or screen reader interaction. We should fix this here so that jQuery users can benefit. This should probably be high priority given that it is locking out some features of the Mozilla addons website.

When I get a chance, I'll post a patch that follows the http://dev.aol.com/dhtml_style_guide; unless we want to keep the 'every header is in the tab order' keyboard interaction. It will be a bit more work to follow the styleguide, and currently there is an agenda item to review an accordion proposal from James Craig, which I believe is more akin to the current patch.
