Just in case: support for @autofocus attribute is implemented in 4 of 5 major browsers: Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari. As for usage (whether it's wide or not wide), could you provide source of corresponding statistics you've used? Autofocus is actually one of HTML5 features that can be most easily implemented with JavaScript, and I personally use it by default in _each_ form that needs autofocusing (feedback forms, admin interfaces, etc.).
