Eh, James?  Surely if the dot-defeating function is applied from an
onclick event on a hyperlink it's not going to interfere with keyboard
navigation of that page.  The problems come with applying blurring
functions with onmouseover/onfocus events or onclick events which are
not hyperlinks.

... or in framesets, but then nobody here uses them, 'cos FRAMES ARE
EVIL, right?
