Good. That's what Dominic and I implemented.

Yes, come to think of it, the "high contrast focus ring" is probably the rectangle that is drawn by the operating system's accessibility's subsystem. Can someone from the a11y team confirm that that is the intent?
If this is so, we've implemented the APIs per the spec.

Because it's not actually following the spec?

I assume it's what's defined for DrawCustomFocusRing in the current spec.

Is that exactly what the current spec says it should do?
