Description
Is it possible for the JavaFX team to publish the official documentation on the Focus Traversal Policy in JavaFX 2.0? There is no documentation available on this subject in the public domain as it does for AWT and Swing.

Today I was looking at the behaviour of TAB and arrow keys across a couple of groups of radio buttons in an app that I am working on. It seems that TAB jumps to the selected item in the group, then out of the group to the next tab stop. Left and right arrows move the focus *and* the selection within the group but don't leave the group. Up and down arrows are a bit like left and right arrows but seem to allow entering and leaving groups as well - I can't tell yet exactly what rules it is following. It would be great to have a specification of the behaviour that can be relied upon. As an example, the W3C has this for radio buttons on web pages: http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-wai-aria-practices-20090224/#radiobutton
