Just like any other part of the spec, the onus is absolutely on content authors to understand it and accommodate it.  The spec explicitly states that focus-on-click is not a required behaviour for user agents, and content authors should therefore not take it for granted.

Equally the onus is on UA authors to adhere to the spec; which is why I think Safari should adopt the behaviour of treating focusable elements with a non-null tabindex as click-focusable, just as the spec says it should.
