It seems keyboard focus is totally independent of mouse focus. If you first
tab through a menu and then switch to the mouse and give an item focus
(without clicking on the page), you will have two items in focus.

Let's not confuse terminology. A mouse does not "focus," it "hovers."
And yes, giving focus to one link and hover to another activates both
states at the same time, but I can't imagine how else that would work.
I would like to know where my keyboard and mouse* are at the same time
anyway.

But back to the original topic, active means a link that has been
clicked or "entered" and is loading. Interestingly enough, if you have
a link submit to "#", then when you click it, it stays on the
active/focus state (depending on the browser). It's hard to explain,
so I'll give an example: http://cssplay.co.uk/menu/book.html
