Comment (by afercia):

 Discussed a bit in today's a11y bugs scrub meeting. From an accessibility
 and semantic point of view, these are not "tabs". They're just links that
 ''look'' like tabs. More like a navigation sub-menu. ARIA tablist, tab,
 tabpanel roles are intended for "in page" content that gets revealed /
 hidden when clicking on a tab. Simple example here:
 http://heydonworks.com/practical_aria_examples/#tab-interface

 We'd recommend to remove any ARIA added here. Also in the accessibility
 team we're planning to review all the different kind of "tabs" used in the
 admin, hopefully in an incoming feature (plugin) project.
