That seems to contract what you've said earlier:

(AT stands for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assistive_technology).

Am I correct in saying that the author needs to call this function each and
every time an element "inside" the canvas is focused?

If so, there is no way for AT to detect/enumerate all focusable areas
upfront to let users know of which areas are focusable (before focusing any
element).
