| If the focus is on a text field, but hitting enter activates the submit
| button (typical behaviour in most UIs and certainly most popular
| browsers), then the button is not focussed prior to the enter key being
| hit (and typically not after either).

The button accepts keyboard events, so it has the focus. Thats what the spec
says. There is no need for a new pseudo-class.

| How would you style target anchors?

something like

a {
  color: black
}

and

a:link {
  color: red
}

or

a[href] {
  color: red
}

If you get pseudo-class inversion i want to have attribute inversion like 'not
equal', 'does not end with', 'has no attribute' and so on like

a[!href]
a[href^!"http://www.w3.org"]
...

Maybe at this point we should have a more generic mechanism for inversion,
maybe others want to style all classes not named "normative" and so on.
