> Note:  This feature is part of Firefox/IE/Mozilla/Opera

it is? i just checked Safari, FF, and IE and none of them mouse snap-to a button on \
accessing the help->about window, an error,  or a popup.  it would be silly for a \
single application to have different behavior than the rest of the environment.  \
afaik in mac osx there is no such thing as mouse snap-to button focus without the aid \
of a plugin or addon.

> is a feature recommended by design experts such as Jeff Raskin

what paper/book are you referencing?  i seem to remember raskin stating the complete \
opposite in "the humane interface". you should NEVER take the control of or change \
focus of an input device such as keyboard or mouse.  this includes moving the mouse \
to focus on a button upon an event.
