Then it shouldn't be called a scope since a scope in OSs and native
applications means pretty much that.

 That way you can add tabindexscope to forms and all elements of the form

Why is that desirable? How is the user supposed to break out of the scope?


With some kind of a key combination, like a window is a scope in an
Operating System you can only break out of it with Alt+Tab, maybe
Ctrl+Alt+Tab?

And it looks like your proposal should use a different name since it is not
a scope but more like "localtabindex" or something like that.
