In addition to the focus constraint, the Core-AAM (formerly UAIG) states
that there must be an accessible in the a11y tree if the element fires
an accessibility event [1] (second bullet).
I assume the proposed doClick() causes a DOM click event, and that
*always* causes an a11y event. Is that right?
