interesting. In the Note: it says "In this configuration, user agents should
still apply any stylistic changes (e.g. highlighting) that may occur when
there is a change in content focus."
Such as, tabbing to a link changes the focus, and the link text changes to
bold.

Are you saying stylistic changes should not be allowed? or is there an
example where applying a style change is a problem?

How would this be different in an AJAX control that changes the way it
appears when it gets focus, but is not activated?

current functioning in UAs allows users to navigate to (give focus to) a
form control without causing a change of state. the first radio button in a
group of radio buttons does not get selected when tabbing between groups,
although once in a group moving between the radio buttons does cause a
change of state. Tabbing between (giving focus to) checkboxes does not
change state. I suppose changing the state of a form control could be an
event written by an author...

what am I missing?
