When AX is running and we have no selection, pressing an arrow key initializes selection to the beginning of the document. Initial selection should respect and key off of the focused element if one is present. This would make it possible for a user to navigate halfway down a page using tab, and then hit an arrow key to start reading text from that point.

Specifically, when accessibility has the need to set initial selection, move this explanation above the line about "No New Tests' This should say something like "Support the case where we want to set the initial selection and there's already a focused element." The current wording is a bit backward in terms of importance
