 In common.js, event handlers are assigned to the textarea in the theme and
 plugin editors to insert tab characters when the tab key is pressed. It
 would be nice if these events were "namespaced" so they could be easily
 targeted for unbinding. See [http://docs.jquery.com/Namespaced_Events].

 In my Tab Override plugin, I have to resort to analyzing the code for each
 event handler to determine which ones are safe to remove. This is not very
 reliable.

 I attached an example that uses wpTabKey as the event namespace. It would
 be great if this could make it into 3.2!

 Thanks!
