I'm not quite sure what you mean - doesn't drawSystemFocusRing require
an element as a parameter (so that it only draws if the element has focus)?

Also, while what you describe is true for Chrome, it doesn't appear to be

OK, that's a good argument to not get the focus style from the outline.

But before we do that, we should probably figure out how much demand there

Fair enough. I'll implement drawSystemFocusRing with the default style and
we can
start getting feedback from web developers.
