RE: Action Item Bug: 1568

Thanks Gez

I looked and I think the third bullet under "intent" makes the difference
clear in an interesting way that keeps us from needing to define it or state
specifically that they are different.  It does it by putting them side by
side in context.   

Very clever.

Yes, that all makes sense. Is the guide doc as it stands [1] clear about the
difference between "focus" and "receives focus", or will this need adding
before it goes to survey with the main group?
