I don't think multiple things are focused at once. Rather, certain composite controls have a notion of which cell is "active", that becomes the focused cell when you focus it. If you have a <select multiple> control on your page, you can tell which items are selected even when it isn't focused, and I think this is the same thing. > Do we expose the way each cell can be focused in two different directions? > I don't see how that would translate into an accessibility API, even in a native app. I think the author would have to semantically convey that via some other means.
