Simply put, when content focus moves into the initially hidden
content, something needs to render the structure, content, and
functionality of that content visually. That something might be a
browser, it might be a screen reader, it might be any user agent. Once
rendered visually, focus within the content can be indicated visually.
The proposed spec text allows this.
