Carousel pattern: clarify whether prev/next buttons are required when using tablist slide controls #3411

Description

@BrendanBerkley

In the Carousel pattern docs it states under "Features needed to provide sufficient rotation control": - Buttons for displaying the previous and next slides.

However, the Auto-Rotating Image Carousel with Tabs for Slide Control Example does not include previous/next buttons. It uses only a tablist for slide navigation (plus a pause/play button for rotation control).

Is this intentional? If so, could the pattern documentation clarify when previous/next buttons can be omitted?

My assumption is that tablist semantics provide equivalent functionality via arrow key navigation between tabs, satisfying the underlying requirement. But it's just that...an assumption!
