So what is your question? David's example is an element that can be focused but is skipped when pressing Tab to modify the focus. It can be focused via element.focus() or if mouse-clicking on it would do so on the platform.

Is your problem that accessibility wants to use tab navigation? No accessibility code is doing so currently that I can see. It would be calling nsIFocusManager::MoveFocus with the forward/backward type if it was.

I do however see code using nsIFocusManager::SetFocus which will focus an element normally.
