This is extremely unlikely to ever happen. Users are not generally that sophisticated. Maybe 1/1000 people will create a custom stylesheet. I don't see the point in requiring programming skills for basics like showing keyboard users where they are.

> Especially with forms, authors may add another indication of which input is focused while disabling built-in outline - showing both would be quite weird.

If it is landed with it pref'd off by default, we can see how much of an issue it really is. Even if all we did was turn this on for the outline: 0 cases where there is no other rule for :focus, we'd be fixing the vast majority of the cases.
