RE: Question about SC 2.4.3 Focus Order

-1

What about in the event of a survey modal popping up on its own.  Maybe I'll encounter this modal window content and its associated stops in the focus order on the way forward through the page.  But, on the way backward through the page using Shift+Tab, I'll probably not have that pop-up survey modal in the focus order.

If forward "navigation sequences affect meaning", going backward would mean the meaning would be lost. I wouldn't expect a page with meaningful forward focus order to preserve the meaning when navigated backwards. 

If going forward and backward do not affect meaning, then 2.4.3 would not apply.

Thanks,

Fellow AG'lers, I am asking that you indulge me in a quick straw poll:  Does SC 2.4.3 Focus Order include backwards navigation?

+1:  yes, of course
0:  not sure / maybe
-1:  no, of course not

FWIW, the associated Understanding Doc has a contradiction between the third paragraph of Intent and the first example provide.  I will be filling an issue (and, hopefully, following up with a pull request) about that, but really I first need a sense of the group consensus before that can happen.

Follows is 2.4.3 and the relevant affiliated definition.

Success Criterion 2.4.3 Focus Order (Level A):  If a Web page can be navigated sequentially and the navigation sequences affect meaning or operation, focusable components receive focus in an order that preserves meaning and operability.

navigated sequentially:  navigated in the order defined for advancing focus (from one element to the next) using a keyboard interface
