Description

In their current form, in our product we can't use the builtin react-vis legends as they provide no keyboard accessibility, specifically tabindex and aria-* attributes.

Probably a bit wide for one issue, but it would be nice to be able to make series that have event handlers focusable too.

As always, happy to pitch in with a PR along these lines!
