Sam, Paul, Janina,

It looks like Microsoft has implemented the canvas keyboard navigable
subdom proposal as part of our canvas accessibility proposal in IE 9. Now
we just need to get the focus tracking and caret tracking issues resolved:

Nice work Frank!

David, has this much been implemented in Firefox 4? That would give us two
implementations of the navigable subdom.
