    <thetext>This note was at the end of the Controlling focus with tabindex section:

Note: Over time, user agents have provided differing implementations and levels of support for the tabindex attribute. Examples include: the Gecko documentation on Key-navigable custom DHTML widgets; the documentation for Internet Explorer&apos;s tabindex behavior in MSDN: tabindex Property, and Opera simple testcases. The HTML 5 spec documents tabindex extended behavior in Sequential focus navigation ([HTML5]).

We removed it because we are able to reference the HTML 5 spec which currently describes tabindex sufficiently. We may need to consider adding it back in at a later point in time though if HTML 5 does not include the tabindex implementation information or if it is not sufficient for implementers. 

Code snippet:

&lt;p class=&quot;note&quot;&gt;Note: Over time, user agents have provided differing implementations and levels of support for the &lt;code&gt;tabindex&lt;/code&gt; attribute. Examples include: the Gecko documentation on &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.codetalks.org/wiki/index.php/Docs/Keyboard_navigable_JS_widgets&quot;&gt;Key-navigable custom &lt;abbr title=&quot;Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language&quot;&gt;DHTML&lt;/abbr&gt; widgets&lt;/a&gt;; the documentation for Internet Explorer&apos;s &lt;code&gt;tabindex&lt;/code&gt; behavior in &lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms534654%28VS.85%29.aspx&quot;&gt;MSDN: &lt;code&gt;tabindex&lt;/code&gt; Property&lt;/a&gt;, and Opera &lt;a href=&quot;http://tc.labs.opera.com/html/global-attributes/tabindex/&quot;&gt;simple testcases&lt;/a&gt;. The &lt;abbr title=&quot;Hypertext Markup Language&quot;&gt;HTML&lt;/abbr&gt; 5 spec documents &lt;code&gt;tabindex&lt;/code&gt; extended behavior in &lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-html5-20090825/#sequential-focus-navigation&quot;&gt;Sequential focus navigation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt; ([&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#ref_HTML5&quot;&gt;&lt;abbr title=&quot;Hypertext Markup Language 5&quot;&gt;HTML5&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;]).&lt;/p&gt;</thetext>
