Shaw-Han, thanks for this excellent description of the issues and  
proposed solution.

Maybe I should finish my coffee before posting this, but there's one  
thing in your description that's not quite clear to me:

These two statements seem, to my uncaffeinated brain, to contradict  
each other.

In the first one, "move to the first link in the next portlet" implies  
that a new portlet is selected and that the first link in that new  
portlet gets focus.

The second statement, however, is that when a new portlet is selected,  
the portlet *container* gets focus.

What am I not getting here? Am I just misreading words like 'select'  
and 'focus?'
