Hi Will

I woud like to confirm the bugs before I'll send something to Jon:

1. Select Navigation, Headings and move to any header. Header will be
visually highlighted, but if I press KP_Plus screenreader starts from
old position, the focus is not moved to heading.

My tip: press "end" ot "home" - cursor will be moved after selected
heading and you can read the rest of page with KP_Plus.

2. In "menu and navigation bars" both trees has initially no selection.
In my opinion all trees should automatically select it's first element
if none is selected when the tree is focused.

I solve this problem adding small function in tree.onfocus - works
perfectly for me. I try to solve the first problem, but at now my
solution works only when there is no focusable elements (like links)
inside the heading.

I found the partial solution for this problem: if there is no links
inside the heading, the focus should be moved to this heading, otherwise
to first link. Unfortunately - Firefox completely looses focus on nested
focusable elements.

If you think it may be usable I can prepare the patched version of this
extension for testing.
