    <thetext>In 8.4.2 &quot;Data model&quot;,
in the algorithm for &apos;focus chain&apos;,
steps 4 and 5 have the structure:

    4. If A, append ...

       Otherwise, if B, append ...

    5. Otherwise, if C, ...

       Otherwise, if D, ...

       Otherwise, if E, ...

I&apos;m concerned about the &quot;Otherwise&quot; that begins step 5.

It&apos;s unclear if it means:
    if A is not true
or instead:
    if A is not true and B is not true
Both interpretations are odd, for different reasons.

I wonder if it shouldn&apos;t be there at all. That is, should step 5 begin with
    5. If current object is a dialog object ...

    <thetext>Yeah, that first &quot;Otherwise&quot; in step 5 is bogus. Good catch.</thetext>
