Note that this would mean that what modern browsers currently do (i.e. only showing a visible outline on focused controls by default only when using a keyboard - which is the basis of what was then standardised as :focus-visible) would fail, and force all authors to explicitly add a :focus definition that ignores the heuristic for "would the browser show an outline by default". I'd suggest also that in terms of *consistency*, this is something that could/should be handled by user agents (having a setting that forces a possibly customisable standard outline/focus indicator - which would then at least work for content/controls that use "real" focusable controls, rather than something that creates a purely virtual focus like a <canvas> application or similar) rather than trying to force every web developer and designer globally to use a particular style/look (that W3C would be the arbiter of?)
