 > Tabbing behaviour in the admin toolbar differs between the admin area
 and the front end.

 Unfortunately tabbing is extended with jQuery so if the front-end doesn't
 load it, tabbing won't work the same as in the back end.

 > Shift-tabbing in the admin area also produces different behaviour to
 tabbing.

 The JS "helper" for tabbing emulates the press-enter-to-open for the
 active menu. Currently the JS helper removes the "press-enter" bit and
 opens the submenu as soon as the user tabs to the top menu. Tabbing
 backwards (shift+tab) works in exactly the same way, it opens the submenu
 when the user tabs to the top menu.

 Actually was testing full emulation of press-enter-to-open (i.e. the user
 will have to press Enter to open submenus, not opening them automatically)
 that would probably be more natural for tabbing.
