Description Simon Pieters 2012-03-07 15:50:02 UTC 
"Using this feature should enhance the user experience as the user can turn it off if the user does not like it, for instance."

This doesn't say compared to what. It could be interpreted as enhanced compared to not focusing anything on page load, which isn't always the case. It should say "compared to focusing the element with script".
