           Summary: Either let normal outline include sub-elements or let
                    auto outline not include them
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Currently 'auto' outline-style (normally for focus ring) and non-auto outline-style behave very differently. The former draws outlines for sub-elements while the latter doesn't. Should we make them the same?

Behaviors of other browsers:

Outlines:
- Firefox (19.0). a single rectangle enclosing the the element and its sub-elements when outline-style!=auto. Doesn't support 'auto'.
- IE9: a single rectangle enclosing the element only when outline-style!=auto. Doesn't support 'auto'.

IE9 is same as WebKit when outline-style!=auto.

Real focus rings (when an element is really focused):
- Firefox: position same as outline (enclosing sub-elements), using dotted black-and-white outline style.
- IE9: position same as outline (not enclosing sub-elements), using dotted black-and-white outline style. The sub-layer covers part of the focus ring.
