Description

Generally speaking, there is a lot of overlap here with the recent proposal of the FocusTraversal API in the WICG incubator discussion group. I think there's a chance to work together to support both end goals, but with two different specs that work in concert instead of competition.

If someone could have a look at the FocusTraversal API explainer I would definitely be interested in further conversation around the subject.
