Phil,

As far as a user is concern what they have just done is tantamount to 
clicking on the control. I should also make it clear that I'm talking 
about _editable_ controls and not radio box, etc. If a user has set his 
system up to behave in a particular way (no distributions would be 
shipped with this enable), we shouldn't be dictating this policy. The 
same code that stops a user giving focus to a non-editable control, in 
the click-focus setup will stop it happening in the hover-focus setup.
