aria-selected, (2) the AAPI selection state, (3) the associated GUI
widget's selection state, or all three. (Or, I suppose any combination
thereof).

That sounds like what I was getting at in terms of a script setting
aria-selected to true based on an onfocus event. If an author does
that, is it a case of selection following focus?

Yes, it is not clear what the meaning of "Scenario" is in the second

selection follows focus, the UA does the following ...".
