Re: 2.4.7 Focus Visible

Doing a "too long; didn't read" version, my view on this topic:

The whole point of :focus-visible was that as an author I can now be 
quite nuanced and define focus styles that only show when the browser/UA 
decides that the user wants to see focus styles (they currently do this 
by default, using their own heuristics)

This is in contrast to :focus that just forced it on all situations, 
without nuance, which is what stopped many authors from providing focus 
styles in the first place.

So if there are users that would benefit from focus indication even as a 
result of a mouse click...then getting browsers/user agents to provide a 
setting for that would be the solution that provides more immediate benefit.
