The spec says:

draw a focus ring of the appropriate style along the intended path,
following platform conventions.


In one of the email threads I have asked what "along the path" meant but
there hasn't been an answer...
I think it's assumed that you leave enough space so the ring fits. There
isn't even anything in the spec that says that the path should fall in the
canvas region.
