How many things can you the site visitor "select" apart from more than one
item in a <select> area? Surely you don't mean that if I drag my mouse
through a few lines of text, somehow the compliant device must be informed
of that?
> focus,
That seem strictly user-agent. I can style an item to have :focus events
and I rely on the browser to determine when the visitor has actually given
focus.

What do these mean, especially "state"? (a:link:visited?) Does this also
include document.write?

I continue to caution the Working Group against this terminology, which
indicates a poor understanding of HTML. You really can't mark up
"relationships" with anything other than <a>, <link>, <area>, or <map>
elements. (People are doing really good things with the rel attribute
these days, by the way.)
How would I map the relationship between, say, a <sup> element and a <dd>
element?
