Re: [csswg-drafts] [selectors] :focus-visible on a <select> element (#5822)

I also wonder if this should be left up to the individual browsers? I think we anticipated there might be some disagreements on the margins which is why this language was used in the spec:

> User agents can choose their own heuristics for when to match :focus-visible; however, the following (non-normative) suggestions can be used as a starting point

For what it's worth, I can see an argument being made for select in either direction. button and radio allow for activation (spacebar) and directional (arrow) actions. Select does all of that but it also allows for character input (you can type an option) which makes it sort of input-like as well.

I wonder if it might be expedient for us to keep the existing focus ring behavior in the various browsers so it doesn't block shipping the change in Webkit, while continuing the discussion to see if we want to make follow on changes to how select works?
