In HTML5, focus() and blur() are now defined on HTMLElement instead of
being restricted to specific form elements.
In Web Forms 2.0, the autofocus attribute is defined for "any form
control (except hidden and output controls)". It seems like it would
make more sense to allow autofocus to be on any HTMLElement, and have it
follow the same focusable rules that focus() follows.
I thought about this a bit as well, but I'm not really sure what the use
case would be. You typically see the effect happening for <input
type=text>. Would this be used by contenteditable-enabled controls? Custom
controls?
If we go down this route, I think we should add the disabled attribute as
a global attribute as well. Internet Explorer already has it and it makes
sense together with contenteditable and tabindex.
