Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Focus delegation from shadow host should not behave like sequential focus navigation (#830)

>> I really don't get the urgency of merging this feature into the HTML spec though. All the involved parties are paying attention to this issue and related PRs so it's not like having this in the HTML specification would speed up any process. If anything, it would create an illusion of the feature being mature to web developers, which is problematic.

The reality of the situation is that `delegatesFocus` is currently a proprietary API of Blink. I don't think anyone should be encouraging developers to start using it outside the confined realm of Blink only content (e.g. Chrome App store).

I find it rather frustrating that this feature got dropped on floor when people started merging shadow DOM & custom elements spec into the HTML & DOM if you think it's so important; specially because I had complained about how the merge would make reviewing & implementing these features impossible on my end.

Regardless, we're making pretty good progress here. Let's focus on the technical discussion and settle on what to do on click. That's the only ting left to agree on, and I bet we can get there in a matter of days & weeks, and not months.
