Comment:

 Alternative approach allowing `tabindex="0"` on the div. This would work
 when plugin authors explicitly set a tabindex meta on the menu item. I'm
 unsure about the opportunity to go further and introduce some check to
 force a tabindex attribute. Something like "if is parent and has no link
 and has no tabindex then set a tabindex" could work but it's very close to
 an assumption. Any thoughts more than welcome.

 Worth noting there are other outstanding accessibility issues on the admin
 bar menu that should probably be addressed in separate tickets.
