<pre>A few negative case examples from some internal discussion:
"""
AK: Browse to <a href="http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone5s">http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone5s</a>
Select the appropriate options e.g. Space Gray, 16GB, Unlocked.
The URL updates to <a href="http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone5s/16gb-space-gray">http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone5s/16gb-space-gray</a>
It’s appropriate to tell the user that the URL changed (even though this is replaceState) but definitely not appropriate to move their focus.
...
With pushState, we would rarely use a hash in the URL. That’s the fallback old style behaviour, where you need no .history() object. We would instead use a “real” URL that can be shared, bookmarked, and so on - and reacted to server-side (which is great SEO) rather than detecting the hash via JS.
"""
and
"""
CS: While yes, devs should be moving focus correctly, I fear that it would degrade the UX for AT users to have focus jumped for sites that already have poor AX.
Also, I can see having fixed timings causing a lot of issues on slow networks, and just being hard to debug (race conditions). E.g. I might update the URL on user click, but it takes longer to get the new content than ~500ms.
"""
I will close as WORKFORME if there are no objections or strong counterpoints.</pre>
