    13  * The focus manager deals with all focus related behaviour. Only one element
    14  * in the entire application may have the focus at a time; this element
    15  * receives any keyboard events. While there is only one application-wide
    16  * focused element, each nsIDOMWindow maintains a reference to the element
    17  * that would be focused if the window was active.
    18  *
    19  * If the window's reference is to a frame element (iframe, browser,
    20  * editor), then the child window contains the element that is currently
    21  * focused. If the window's reference is to a root element, then the root is
    22  * focused. If a window's reference is null, then no element is focused, yet
    23  * the window is still focused.
    24  *
    25  * The blur event is fired on an element when it loses the application focus.
    26  * After this blur event, if the focus is moving away from a document, two
    27  * additional blur events are fired on the old document and window containing
    28  * the focus respectively.
    29  *
    30  * When a new document is focused, two focus events are fired on the new
    31  * document and window respectively. Then the focus event is fired on an
    32  * element when it gains the application focus.
    33  *
    34  * A special case is that the root element may be focused, yet does not
    35  * receive the element focus and blur events. Instead a focus outline may be
    36  * drawn around the document.
    37  *
    38  * Blur and focus events do not bubble as per the W3C DOM Events spec.
