Re: CSS :hover pseudo-class and focus management

Focusability does not work this way on the Mac platform.  Controls  
can be either keyboard focusable or mouse focusable (or neither), and  
this also depends on whether the user is running in Full Keyboard  
Access Mode or not.

Even ignoring specific platforms, browsers have settings for whether  
or not links should be included in the tab order or not.

Therefore tabindex does not imply anything about whether or not the  
user agent will actually focus the element via the keyboard or the  
mouse.
