    It'd be good to improve test coverage and definition of the existing functionality first, as there are various issues, e.g., web-platform-tests/wpt#11193, web-platform-tests/wpt#9440, and #3551.

    (We should also add it to SVG.)

    Kent has worked to improve the test coverage and definition of existing functionality for autofocus in #4763, but so far no other implementers have been able to make time to signal their interest.

    Given this, plus the rough consensus at TPAC #833 (comment) , I think we should move forward with moving autofocus="" to HTMLElement. It will be a bit annoying since the pull request for that would be on top of #4763, but I don't think we should block any longer. It's possible both PRs will remain blocked on implementer interest, but I think we should still move forward with spec and test work.
