Hi Rich, Edward, Question: how do form controls remain fill-able and submit buttons submit-able without taking physical cursor focus? (particularly concerned about submit) Also, on last Thursday's TF call there was a concern over event-handlers that require focus (onfocus, onclick, onkeypress, onhover, ondblclick, onkeydown, onkeyup, onselect, the Drag and Drop event handlers, onscroll...). It seems that some event handlers could still apply (onchange or onloadeddata for example), but I believe sufficient warning should also be provided around the focusable event-handlers that they will not "work".
