The thread that started with the above question seemed to conclude that 
the DOM3 Events spec requires that the focus change not affect which 
element receives the event, which is also my understanding of the 
situation. The thread did not seem to suggest any further changes were 
needed, so I haven't changed anything in HTML5. Please let me know if 
there is something in HTML5 that needs changing for this.

Cheers,
