Description
It has been expressed in accessibility discussions (990 and aria-1947) that providing a visual indicator for a focusgroup could be helpful even for sighted users as a clear pattern to know that a group can be navigated with arrow keys.
Perhaps there is room for a new user agent default stylesheet CSS pseudo class? E.g.,
[focusgroup]:focus-within {
/* ua-default visual styles */
}

Research direction
Start by reading the focusgroup discussion in issue 990 and the linked W3C ARIA issue 1947, then evaluate the proposed user-agent stylesheet and :focus-within example. Done would require a settled specification decision about whether a default visual indicator belongs in focusgroup behavior and what it should define; no implementation files or tests are identified.
