 My point was not to find sites with the same menu, but to illustrate how
 hard is for a keyboard user to know how links work before clicking on
 them. I think, we should look at this in context: The other menus in the
 left hand navigation are harder to use in 3.3, because the user cannot
 control anymore which submenus will stay open and which will be closed.
 This is already frustrating enough, we shouldn’t add ''more'' clicks to
 this.

 Plus, the submenus in the left navigation do '''not''' open on click, they
 force a page load. Making a click working different on the admin bar and
 on the left menu will raise the learning curve again.

 Make the handling of all elements as simple as possible, remove any
 situation where the user has to guess and any additional key stroke.
