 Standard behaviour for a textarea when tab key is pressed is to move to
 the next item that can receive focus. I'm a little nervous about that
 behaviour being overridden. How about swapping the solution round to:
 * Tab key pressed - moves out of textarea
 * Esc + Tab - inserts a tab character

 Also, using aria-describedby attribute is good for screen reader users,
 but where non-standard behaviour is present it's important that clear and
 visible instructions are provided for those who may be using a keyboard
 but not alongside a screen reader - eg some motor-impaired sighted people.
