`focusVisible: false` is not equivalent to not specifying the option as the current text implies. The spec is clear, and only indicates focus if focusVisible is true, or not specified and a browser-heuristic matches, see [1]: > If the value of the `focusVisible` dictionary member of options is > `true`, or is not present but in an implementation-defined way the > user agent determines it would be best to do so, then indicate focus. That condition doesn't match if the member is present and is `false` :) [1]: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-focus

Description
focusVisible: falseis not equivalent to not specifying the option as the current text implies.The spec is clear, and only indicates focus if focusVisible is true, or not specified and a browser-heuristic matches, see 1:
That condition doesn't match if the member is present and is
false:)Motivation
It's wrong. There seems to be confusion in issues like w3c/csswg-drafts#5885, partially due to the wrong MDN documentation.
Additional details
I wrote the spec (see whatwg/html#8087), and this was explicitly discussed in the WHATWG in the various meetings referenced from whatwg/html#7830 :)
