correct. I actually does what the specs says; although that can result
in unexpected results, from a design point of view.

I fully agree, up to a point.
If you are **careful**, and make sure to provide feedback for keyboard
users when the link has focus, then removing the outline is
(eventually) acceptable.
e.g. a:focus { /* some properties */}
as usual: don't rely on colour/background-colour alone, etc.
caveat: iExploder 6 & 7 does not support the :focus pseudo-class, but
uses the :active pseudo-class.
a:focus, a:active {/* some properties */}
