The browser is currently creating lists of scroll markers for our convenience and it exposes them as tabs, regardless of whether the pattern they are used to create is actually a Tabs widget or not. And it does that because—surprise, surprise!—CSS is not where semantics are defined. How does the browser know what an element is? It knows that from HTML. Semantics should be defined in HTML. And styles and visual affordances should follow from there. As I mentioned earlier, what I believe we need is native HTML elements with built-in semantics and interactive behavior for creating other UI patterns that currently have no equivalents in HTML. This includes Tabs, sliders, and carousels. And CSS could provide an additional layer of visual affordance on top of that. That would be great!
