Autofocus breaks site navigation: instead of returning to where you were previously, you end up focused on search box, which is really annoying. It also breaks page navigation (similar mistake: floating top panel on dart site). Whether it's standard or not, I don't know, because when I see such disgusting UX, I leave the site and never return if possible.
I hate that too. It also breaks in-page search with "/", which I use a lot.
In fact, I get seriously annoyed whenever a web site does *anything* to make my browser behave in an unexpected, non-standard way. Like those sites that hijack the arrow keys for navigation between images or blog posts. Or GitHub's keyboard shortcuts. Grrrr...
When I want that stuff, I use a browser plug-in like Vimperator or Vimium. I shouldn't have to install an add-on to *disable* it.
