I admittedly never made such a distinction, treating it more to mean "any *keyboard-focusable element* has a mode of operation where the keyboard focus indicator is visible", and used 2.4.7 to fail cases where focus lands somewhere, but disappears (even if that "somewhere" was, say, a <div tabindex="0"> or similar. Don't think (though may be wrong) that the original intent behind 2.4.7 was to exclude those situations? Otherwise it'd have likely been documented somewhere in the understanding? (In an ideal world, I'd propose a normative wording change to 2.4.7, but as it's unlikely to get any traction just now, I'll save myself the trouble...) -- Patrick H.
