Re: default cursor focus

The only recommendation I know of is to ensure that there is a logical 
navigation order. Individual browsers (or browser/screenreader or 
browser/asssistive technology combinations) may provide specialised 
configurations, which reflect a user's experience and preferences, if 
the content they work on works in standard ways.
