Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Incubation: Scoped Focusgroup (Issue #1152)

Thanks for your clear and comprehensive reply, @janewman - this sounds good.

Just one point I'd like to clarify regarding question 1, about orientation. I think I wasn't clear in my question (sorry about that), and that you've answered "will focusgroup affect the exposed `aria-orientation` attribute value?" - but I was meaning to ask "will focusgroup be affected by the given `aria-orientation` attribute value?"

Your answer, plus your reminders of the relevant parts of the explainer, do answer my question though - by default, both axes of arrow keys will respond, and the author can limit that to the `inline` or `block` axis as desired. It also seems that the value of `aria-orientation` is _not_ influential in any way (though the `role` of controls may be). If I'm understanding correctly, this does mean that there may be some cases where the author needs to specify both an `aria-orientation` value, and an optional `inline` or `block` constraint for the `focusgroup`, but that doesn't seem too onerous (and is consistent with the rest of how `focusgroup` works).

tl;dr: Again this all sounds reasonable. It will be great to see this feature come to the web!
