Question: How does the usual mouse-clicking-only computer-illiterate user ever 
manage to put the focus *outside* of the selection? For these kinds of users, 
selection == focus always holds true.

Those who are smart enough to move the focus out of the selection are also 
smart enough to find out about the enter/action behaviour, aren't they?
