I think that technique is discussed in the CSS thread. https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1172 The idea of adding it to something like stylish, starts to blur the lines between author responsibility and user responsibility and browser responsibility. I can hear the dev community asking themselves "why do I have to do implement this across my site for all users if an end user can just install a plugin to get what they need, and when a browser can easily make this a setting?" Should we be rolling this into the category of "don't interfere with user overriding the focus indicator?" Instead of "make the focus indicator have sufficient contrast?" in Silver?
