I agree.  A user's expectation would be that the focus moves upwards in
their world if they tell it too.  "Their world" is composed of the visual
rendering and not the invisible document order.  So, this should be the case
in viewers and authoring tools.  Having it act on spatial relationships and
not document order will also help a non visual user to atain the meaning
conveyed by the spatial relationships, as they can at least determine the
directional relationships between elements through exploration with
directional nav.
