 In Twenty Eleven, tabbing through links is almost impossible apart from
 main body links, where there is a text-decoration: underline behaviour.

 Elsewhere, such as in the nav menu, the round comments link and sidebar,
 there is no focus behaviour and the user needs to guess (or check the
 status bar for) which link is currently active.

 To reproduce: open up the latest trunk with the Twenty Eleven theme in a
 browser and start tabbing through links.

 A fix that could work is giving a simple background color highlight for
 most links, and for nav menus use the same effect as for :hover.
