> No Trinidad components have a tabindex attribute, which makes it impossible to control tab-order.  While tabindex isn't a fantastic solution to tab ordering, it is well known and a standard part of HTML.  Until we have a better solution, we should add a tabIndex attribute.  
> Some context from previous emails
> Danny:
> I noted Eric created issue ADFFACES-482 to have tabindex added to all components.  I know this has come up before and general comments were around its limitations, however even with its limitations (ie. no dynamic calculation for subviews etc.) I still feel it would be better to have this attribute than the complete lack of support for any navigation ordering that Trinidad has currently.
> Adam:
> I'm +0...  never liked the HTML attribute much, but there's
> demand for it...  Two design questions before going forward:
>  - Should it be tabindex or tabIndex?
>    Trinidad generally uses camel-case.  I prefer tabIndex.
>  - Should the attribute be on components that ordinarily do not
>    have navigation?
>    Danny says "all components".  You could, in theory, put tabindex
>    on a ordinary span in HTML, so we could add it to outputText,
>    etc...  However, I'd rather not - it's extra overhead for a rarely
>    used feature, and unused attributes *are* a performance problem,
>    especially for outputText and panel components.
