Maybe my suggestion was misunderstandable? I meant to suggest that:
- Multiple autofocused form elements are valid (the validator does not
complain about them), but only the first one is actually focused at load
time.
- "Load time" is either when the page is loaded, or when a whole new
form is inserted via XHR.
