While we are discussing presentation/behavioural stuff and
accessibility, I'd like to bring up a problem I ran into when trying to
do CSS menus that were accessible.

Simply put, :focus does not work like :hover, forcing the use of
Javascript to define behaviour most likely to be used by those who need
the accessibility, and who will likely have Javascript turned off...
which defeats the point of using it at all.

I think CSS needs a way of detecting states, both on objects and on
descendants of objects.
