Comment (by koopersmith):

 1) A keydown event on "Select a File" will be hard, as plupload
 dynamically positions a transparent layer over the actual button if the
 browser does not support HTML5. We might be able to wire into the plupload
 internals to make it work.

 2) We could track the link that was used to open the customizer in
 customize-loader and restore focus on close.

 3) This was the biggest thing during the accessibility testing nacin and I
 saw — Dragon picks up everything on the page, and inserts its labels
 *below* the customizer on the page. Honestly, the best solution is
 probably to bump to customize.php if they're using dragon. That said, I
 have no idea how to detect Dragon.

 At the end of the day, I think fixing the second point (link tracking) the
 best we're going to do for 3.5. The other two aren't really feasible at
 this point.
