Hi Alex,
Two questions. You wrote (my emphasis):
> when focused
> item is changed then previously focused (unfocused) item gets
> aria-selected="false", currently focused item gets
> aria-selected="true", in other words, *only focused item is selected*.
This discussion is within the context of a container that supports
multiselection -- the second table in section 5.8.3 [1]. If only the
focused item is selected, that sounds like a single selection scenario.
How does "selection follows focus" work in a context where multiple
items can be selected?
Secondly, I outlined a script to switch the sense of aria-selected based
on focus events:
> One possibility is if the author adds an onfocus script that sets
> aria-selected to "true"
Does that qualify as a "selection follows focus" scenario?
