Description
The popup proposal specifies a delegatesfocus attribute, which tells the user agent to move focus to the popup's first focusable descendent when the popup is shown. delegatesfocus may be a candidate for broader applicability. We should discuss how/whether the attribute should be extended to other HTML elements.
