Matthew: DanC has clarified that it didn't actually ship. Moz position is unknown. Webkit is supportive. Sounds good. They didn't list alternatives considered. It seems like this a good idea.
Jeffrey: wait to close?
DanC: I know that they were trying to do this another way .. and were informed of the existence of this approach. searches for that. Was at TPAC last year...
Jeffrey: Matthew can you draft a comment .. [and adapt based on what DanC comes up with.]

こんにちは TAG-さん!
I'm requesting a TAG review of a new permissions policy named 'focus-without-user-activation'.
The
focus-without-user-activation
permissions policy help controls the use of automated focus in a main frame or <iframe>. The proposed permissions policy can be used to limit the use of automatic focus. Essentially, when the policy is disabled in a document, scripted and automatic focus will only work if the focus has been initialized through user activation. This essentially means that autofocus will be disabled (unless a new element is inserted, with autofocus, as a result of user gesture). The scripted focus will also only work if it has started with user gesture or initiated from current frame's parent.Further details:
