 > If current status quo maintained then keyboard users (inc screen reader
 users) will need to reverse tab up through all the bits to get back to the
 Save button.

 How is this different from, say, a single Publish or Save button on the
 posts screen? The customizer automatically offers a live preview with
 every change, while "Save" actually commits the changes. Tabbing around is
 not unusual when submitting a form. Not to mention, users who use only the
 keyboard are more likely to use additional tools to allow for quicker
 navigation (Dragon NaturallySpeaking as probably the pre-eminent example).
 Eventually, tabbing will return to the top anyway.

 > When will I be able to see the 'finished' Theme Customizer and test for
 accessibility? I'm downloading the nightly builds but I'm guessing it's
 not in there yet?

 It will be in today's nightly build.
