Again, just noting that for specific types of controls (links, buttons), 
browsers already do this by default for their standard focus indication, 
so even without touching focus styling at all as an author, content will 
out-of-the-box behave this way in browsers.

(and this heuristic is what :focus-visible taps into for authors to use 
as well, to keep that determination by the browser while then providing 
explicit styles for cases where the browser DOES deem that the focus 
needs to be shown)
