The spec says why it is designed like this: "This method only draws the focus ring if the element is focused, so that it can simply be called whenever drawing the element, without checking whether the element is focused or not first." This way, the call to drawFocusRing() can be an unconditional part of a paint routine and the check to see if the element is focused can be done in the UA C++ code without the script having to make an explicit JS-to-C++ query for each element to decide whether to call drawFocusRing(). (I retract my statement that it might make sense to imply a call to focus(). It is a bit surprising, though, that a method called drawFoo() actually means drawFooIfBar().) -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
