RE: Better focus support for Shadow DOM

Thanks Takoyoshi! This new version looks great to me. It would allow people to create custom elements with the same focus capabilities as native elements, including both the simple cases (like <custom-a>) and the more complicated ones with a shadow DOM (like <custom-input type="date">). Very exciting stuff!

I hope others are as enthused as I am :)

Hi,

After conversation with Domenic Denicola, I changed the title and the whole story of
solving this issue, though the result is not quite different.  Instead of adding "delegatesFocus"
property, we added "isTabStop()" to expose "tab focusable flag" explained in HTML5 spec.

Any comments/suggestions welcome.

Hi,

For shadow DOMs which has multiple focusable fields under the host,
the current behavior of tab navigation order gets somewhat weird
when you want to specify tabindex explicitly.

This is the doc to introduce a new attribute "delegatesFocus" to resolve the issue.
