[Bug 11343] Browsers allow *any* element to match :active between a mousedown on it and the subsequent mouseup. The definition of :active should change to match this behavior.

Test case illustrating the behavior:

data:text/html,<!doctype html><style>*:active { color: red;
}</style><div>foo<br>bar</div>

The <div> is not on the list of explicit elements with special :active
behavior, nor is it "specially focusable", but it will still turn red when you
click on it.
