Hi,
As an application developer I highly appreciate this built-in CSS support.
We had to roll our own version for focus-visible and focus-within when
implementing our custom controls and L&F but we would leverage this
built-in support to remove complexity from our codebase.
Beside Microsofts new L&F many Web-UI-Toolkits use this
focus-visible-feature (and emulate it while not all browsers support it).
How we use focus-visible:
------------------------
I think focus-visible has a fairly narrow scope so we use it to show
input focus differently depending on the way an element got focused
(mainly mouse-activation vs rest)
How we use focus-within:
------------------------
We use focus-within to visiually indicate the area the focus is
currently in by changing by lifting or coloring that area.

I'd be interested in hearing from application developers as to whether
and how they would use such a feature. As with all non-trivial features,
we don't want to do it if only one or two developers are asking for it.
This seems a reasonably new CSS feature; Firefox just added support in
FF 85 released earlier this year and Safari still doesn't. That suggests
it might be a bit early to adopt this for JavaFX.
Also, one thing that isn't clear is whether there would be any user
visible change using the standard themes. I presume that the answer is
"no", meaning that unless your stylesheets do anything with
focus-visible, it will not affect the look and feel of the app. That
should be stated explicitly
I also presume that there would be no application visible changes when
using the standard themes, other than the presence of the two new
read-only boolean properties?

I have expanded the scope of the proposal to include the :focus-within
pseudo-class, which completes the set of focus-related pseudo-classes.
The updated text of the proposal can be found in the JBS ticket:

I'm looking forward to comments.
