No, and nor should we expect them to do so. Moving the focus via the keyboard is already well established, although poorly implemented in a number of browsers. The standard method on Windows systems is to tab between different elements. Outside of windows systems the implementation has been really bad, although the new version of explorer for macintosh finally rectified that a bit. I agree that the current specification does not help authors much, and I am working through the appropriate processes to try and ensure that this problem is fixed, rather than replicated in other specifications. An example of where there has been an improvement is the Scalable Vector Graphics language: the last call draft includes a better model for scripting and event handling at http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/script if people are interested.
