Description

@travisleithead

Forked from discussions on issue #990:

Probably worth restricting focusgroup application to certain nodes (@keithamus, @lukewarlow, @scottaohara) -- e.g., not or

This issue can track the discussion on which elements should not have focusgroup apply because no users should/will expect focusgroup behavior on such elements. See also, the related issue of how focusgroup behavior should (if at all) apply to elements that already have built-in focusgroup-like behavior #995.

The original concern is that placing a focusgroup on elements that aren't typically used for building UI widgets or that wouldn't have a role associated with a UI widget could be harmful for the accessibility of the web.

At present, both

  • <html>
  • <body>
    and probably
  • <head>

Are among the restricted elements candidates.
