Comment:

 Interesting idea and worth considering. Not sure adding the ID on the
 heading in `do_settings_sections` would help with "tabs" in plugin
 settings pages since these tabs are usually printed out by other means.
 By the way, the main issue I see here is that many browsers still don't
 give focus to elements targeted with an anchor link if these elements are
 not focusable. That's the reason why the main content `div` has a
 `tabindex="0"` attribute.
 On the other hand, I'm not sure making some elements focusable, for
 example a heading, would be a good thing. I'd recommend to discuss a bit
 this in the next accessibility team meeting.

 Couple things about the patch so far:
 - the admin toolbar ID is `wp-toolbar` not `wpbody-toolbar`
 - the settings section h2 heading text shouldn't use `esc_attr()`
