 Trying to keep this trac specific I'm talking here about keyboard-only
 interaction with the new Add Media panel once you have opened it by
 actioning the Add Media link whilst editing a page or a post.

 Accessibility Issues:
 * The most serious problem with accessibility in the Add Media
 functionality is that it is not possible to select any of the pre-uploaded
 media without using a mouse. This will effectively preclude any keyboard
 only or screen reader users from using this functionality.
 * When the Add Media panel first opens it is unclear where keyboard focus
 sits. This could be disconcerting for some users.
 * Reverse tabbing from the panel transfers focus back into the main page
 whilst leaving the panel open. Recommend that focus is kept cycling within
 the panel until the user either explicitly closes the Add Media panel or
 inserts some images.
 * It is possible to tab through the text links on the panel(s), but the
 Upload Files link does not show focus as obviously as other links as there
 is no outline.
 * When tabbing forwards from the Upload Files link there is a tab stop
 that is not at all visible. Believe this to be Media Library but it's not
 clear.
 * The Insert into Page link can receive focus even when inactive.

 Separate trac tickets will be raised to cover the full screen reader and
 speech recognition software experience.
