Comment:

SC 3.2.1 uses "focus", not "keyboard focus". My understanding is that this SC is applied to mouse focus as well. However "Examples of Success Criterion 3.2.1" and the one and only Sufficient Technique G107 mention only keyboard users. This could mislead readers to misunderstand that this SC is applied to keyboard use only.

Proposed Change:
If this SC is also applied to mouse users, for example, please add a failure about it. "When a user moves the focus to a text field by clicking on it, a new window or a popup window is opened." or something like that.

Also having a note which explains that mouseover doesn't move focus to the element would be helpful.

WG Notes:

Resolution: This provision only applies to keyboard focus not to the mouse cursor. We will add the following to Understanding 3.2.1: Focus may be moved to a control either via the keyboard (e.g. tabbing to a control) or the mouse (e.g. clicking on a text field). Moving the mouse over a control does not move the focus unless scripting implements this behavior. Note that for some types of controls, clicking on a control may also activate the control (e.g. button), which may, in turn, initiate a change in context.
