AW: Focus management on a page load and the WCAG criteria

Hi Wolfgang, All!

>Understanding SC 2.4.3 says:
>"The intent of this Success Criterion is to ensure that when users navigate sequentially through content, they encounter information in an order that is consistent with the meaning of the content and can be operated from the keyboard. >This reduces confusion by letting users form a consistent mental model of the content." 
>
>The "mental model of the content" for SR users includes that on loading a page, the content starts, where the virtual focus is. So we explore content from there downwards.
>
>Only pure login or search pages might have set the autofocus on the input-element.

The optimal setting of initial focus different from the beginning of the page includes also web apps, when also for SR users is important to have look&feel of a desktop application.
