Multiple hubpages reached are an excellent fallback for the non-JS
state, and I'd agree that using multiple hubs is a reasonable
keyboard-accessible alternative for dropdowns, particular as opposed to
having lots of options in the tab order. However:
* Opening submenus by activating a button-type control (e.g.
pressing enter) avoids the need for excess tabbing. (Assuming your
submenu links aren't tabbable when submenus are closed.)
* I'm a bit uncomfortable with indicating to the keyboard user that
a menu will dropdown with an arrow (as in your example), but sending
them to another page instead. A possible enhancement might be making the
arrow appear on mouse hover only?
Excellent point.
