Comment (by toscho):

 Replying to [comment:207 grahamarmfield]:
 > For most keyboard only users, when encountering a dropdown they would
 use the up and down arrow keys to review the options. This (I believe)
 fires the onchange event whenever a new option is moved to. So hence my
 comment re context change triggered by onchange.

 In most browsers it is `Shift+Arrow`. But you have to know in advance when
 you need that.

 > So if the change of context is not triggered by the onchange event, but
 instead by tabbing away from the dropdown (onblur?) then I guess we're
 into a bit of a grey area.

 Would still not be a predictable behavior.

 > The issue with not providing a 'Go' or 'Select' (or whatever) button is
 not just a problem for keyboard and screen reader users. Those using
 speech recognition software also need to be catered for.

 A button is also easier to use on a touch screen, because there is enough
 space around.
