The current [Shadow DOM spec](https://github.com/w3c/webcomponents/blob/3788bdcbe96feb06553e9639554a52725ef9255e/spec/shadow/index.html#L1003) at [Focus navigation](http://w3c.github.io/webcomponents/spec/shadow/#focus-navigation) does not specify how shadow tree nodes align to distributed ones, it only defines where entire tree is inserted. It's also not clearly stated to which tree (_document tree_ or _composed tree_) _sequential focus navigation_ should apply in general.
It says
>If a node doesn’t participate in the composed tree, the node must be skipped from the navigation order..
therefore I assume that it applies
Therefore, I assume it should be applied to _composed_.
If it is applied to composed then it should be possible to place real light DOM nodes in between _shadow tree_ nodes, and according to the order of _shadow tree_.
So for the case:
```
document tree
|-shadow host
|-A focusable
shadow tree
|-1 focusable
|-2
|-A insertion point
|-3 focusable
which gives
composed tree
|-shadow host
|-1 focusable
|-2
|-A focusable
|-3 focusable
```
The navigation order should be `1 A 3`
And for more complicated case:
```
document tree
|-shadow host
|-A focusable
|-B focusable
shadow tree
|-1 focusable
|-2
|-B insertion point
|-3
|-A insertion point
|-4 focusable
which gives
composed tree
|-shadow host
|-1 focusable
|-2
|-B focusable
|-3
|-A focusable
|-4 focusable
```
The navigation order should be `1 B A 3`, and **not** `A B` as if it would be for document tree.
Did I get the spec right?
Anyways I would say that it deserves detailed spec. And I would vote for such solution, as otherwise I do not see how Custom Element developer could use distributed content without breaking accessibility.
