Does this include items like :hover and :focus?

Does this include document.write?

How many things can you the site visitor "select" apart from more than one 
item in a <select> area? Surely you don't mean that if I drag my mouse 
through a few lines of text, somehow the compliant device must be informed 
of that?

> focus,

That seem strictly user-agent. I can style an item to have :focus events 
and I rely on the browser to determine when the visitor has actually given 
focus.

What do these mean, especially "state"? (a:link:visited?) Does this also 
include document.write?

> and relationships within the content can be programmatically determined.

I continue to caution the Working Group against this terminology, which 
indicates a poor understanding of HTML. You really can't mark up 
"relationships" with anything other than <a>, <link>, <area>, or <map> 
elements. (People are doing really good things with the rel attribute 
these days, by the way.)

How would I map the relationship between, say, a <sup> element and a <dd> 
element?
