           Summary: Many elements that should be keyboard reachable are
                    not
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jtanaka at salesforce.com

Several hyperlinks and other elements are clickable but not reachable by tabbing through the page and pressing Enter. Tested several pages in several browsers

Failing user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_5) AppleWebKit/536.26.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.2 Safari/536.26.17

Also tested: 
Safari 5.1.7 on Windows XP (fail)
Chrome 24, 25 (works)
IE 6,7,8,9 and 10 (works)

To reproduce:
Open two browsers:
Safari 6.0.2 on OSX 10.7.5 
Chrome 25 on OSX 10.7.5
In each, go to http://www.google.com
In each, press the TAB key to cycle through focusable elements (tab indexed controls) in the page.
Notice in Safari you go between the address bar and the search input only.
Compare to Chrome where you focus on the address bar, all the Google app items in the black bar (+You, Search, Images, Maps, Play, YouTube, News, etc.)

Basic case:
Create a file test.html with these contents and try to use the keyboard in Safari to navigate to the Yahoo link:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
  <a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>
</body>
</html>
