David, are you sure it's too hard to implement the focus ring in all browsers based on child bounds? I'm curious if other a11y folks will be ok with just leaving it out, even if we have a console error for the author. Unless there is a really good reason, I think we should repair the missing focus ring.
We even have a setting, "Show a quick highlight on the focused object." -- it's a bit of a misnomer, because what it does is ensure there is always a visible focus as you move. We need to make sure that still works. Some users really need the focus ring to use software. That's why a11y standards mandate that focus changes be visible.
