The HTML5 spec does a better job of describing this than I would: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#focus

IE and Firefox support this currently. This breaks things like keyboard navigation of the "More actions" menu in Gmail.

Ojan, as of r32664, elements with tabindex set are programatically focusable.  What exactly is the broken behavior you mention with the "more actions" menu at gmail?  Please include detailed steps to reproduce, and your expected results.  thanks.

My bad. I should have tested a nightly. I just tested in 3.1 (which, fwiw, I listed in the version). Marking bug fixed, sorry for the spam.
