Description
https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/single-page.html#interact-Focus mentions how any element that generates a scrollable region should be treated as if tabindex=0 is set. This is a weird “should” statement given HTML doesn’t do this. It’s also problematic because it would mean that we can’t decide whether an element is focusable or not without layout information
The section also mentions “focusable” content attribute. But it doesn’t really specify what happens when its value is set to “auto” or whether it supersedes tabindex=-1 or not:
https://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/interact.html#focusable-attr
For example, this SVG tutorial asserts that “focusable” would override tabindex: https://allyjs.io/tutorials/focusing-in-svg.html#making-svg-elements-focusable
Given Firefox nor Chrome seems to implement this content attribute, it’s hard to tell what the right behavior is.
