I'm not quite sure what you mean by this, Alan. I *think* the spec is
worded this way because not all browsers use the TAB key to step through
links, hence the circumlocution "keyboard events." So I am not clear on
why you think there's a conflict with the spec. (Or not. I am no CSS
expert...)

Cordially,
David
