In the new text fantasai just put in, but even the old text said:
An element is enabled if the user can either activate it or transfer
the focus to it. An element is disabled if it could be enabled, but
the user cannot presently activate it or transfer focus to it.
Which sounds pretty exclusive to me.

It's not nonsense if you're doing something other than just color

That's just a matter of naming; it has the same behavior.
