focusin isn't like focus or DOMFocusIn.
 From MSDN
"[focusin] Fires for an element just prior to setting focus on that 
element."

focusout doesn't sound too useful
"[focusout ]Fires for the current element with focus immediately after 
moving focus to another element. "
So quite close to blur, though blur fires just before firing focus on 
the new element.
I think we may want to have an event which fires before focus has moved 
to anywhere.

Need to test how all the focus handling events work in IE
and elsewhere; when does the cursor actually move to the new place
etc.
