I don't understand what problems is being resolved here. Can you describe a situation where interoperability would be harmed if we don't have this requirement? 41075 2 ian 2010-10-12 10:41:06 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

So the focus management section, instead of saying "a and area are focusable" should say "link, a, and area are focusable when they create a hyperlink as described in 4.12.4 Link types http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/links.html#linkTypes". This is probably a TF priority but hopefully can be addressed just with the bug triage subteam and Cynthia.
