was a principled way to do this from Ur/Web.  One may might be to augment the
indexes of the tag constructor; another way might be to add a new
meta-attribute which takes some sort of source and detects when false->true
transitions occur.  One thing to think about is what to do when multiple
things show up and want focus; it's not a very modular way of acting.

What about a pseudo-attribute (of type [bool] or [unit]) for focus-able elements, asking to give them focus upon creation? Maybe this is your first suggestion above.

What would be a usual way of implementing this in HTML/JavaScript?
