Broadly, I'm not entirely sure what we're trying to achieve by promoting
DisclosurePanelHeader to a public top-level class. It's pretty complex,
for a seemingly simple problem. If you were to replace it wholesale
within an application, you will pretty much be replacing the entire
widget.

It seems that being able to (a) replace the images, and (b) replace the
header contents with an arbitrary widget, would handle all reasonable
use-cases. And it doesn't really solve the problem Thomas mentions with
the focusable part of the header (i.e., the anchor) interfering with
form elements placed within it.

Am I missing something here?

I don't actually believe that switching from using an anchor to
FocusImpl will make much of a difference. They both have the effect of
wrapping the contained widget in a "focusable" area, which is necessary
to make them keyboard-accessible. It's not immediately obvious how we
could *both* make the header focusable, *and* not interfere with form
elements stuck inside it.
