The spec says "When a form control is inserted into a document, the UA 
must check to see if it has this attribute set. If it does, and if the 
control is not disabled, then the UA should focus the control, as if the 
control's focus() method was invoked. (When multiple elements are 
simultaneously inserted into the document, they must all perform this, in 
document order.)".

Doesn't think answer the question?
