Now if you want to go make up your own moon-rules definition for what an "application" is and what should be expected of it, that's up to you.
How about this "moon rule"? If you're a document-based application, when someone closes a document window, focus goes to the next highest window in the stack regardless of the application it is. Focus goes to the document, not the application. That way when you close a browser window, focus stays on the next thing on the stack. When you close a pane in Photoshop, that's not a document window, focus stays on Photoshop. That seem reasonable?
Apple has a very clear definition of what a document-based application is. Finder is one. Preferences isn't.
