This wasn't decided on a whim-- read
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/testing/keynav-test-cases.html:
"Tab/Shift+Tab should move to the next/previous object or control in
all components of the GNOME desktop."

Epiphany uses an autocompleting GTK textfield. Yes, it can still be
improved, for example look at this bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341673 - don't blame
Epiphany for that one ;-)
