Michael Brauer commented on OFFICE-1641:
----------------------------------------

The current resolution does not describe any more what the attribute does:

There are different ways how a control (in particular a button) can obtain 
the focus, or, to use Rob's language, how a control can be selected.

One way is by pressing the TAB key in a form, until the control
is selected/focused. Whether or not a given control participates in this
is controlled by the form:tab-stop attribute. In particular, if this
attribute is true, then the control can be focused/selected using the
TAB key, regardless of any other attribute value, especially regardless
of the form:focus-on-click attribute.

A second means for selecting/focusing a control is clicking onto it with
the mouse. For most control types (imagine an ordinary text input
control), the only meaning of "click it" is: "move the focus to it". For
buttons, however, the primary meaning of "click it" is "execute an
action associated with the button". Whether or not the button *also*
receives the focus (is being selected) when clicked, is controlled by
the form:focus-on-click attribute.

> Ed. Note I missed this under the camera attributes but we use "focus" to mean different things and never define the term in either case. I am not a fan of the definition section practice, which is in fact not required but do think we need to define these terms in context when they are to be used.
