Hi Seb, thanks for pointing this out!  I did some research this week on 
the state of the art regarding what they've implemented.  From what I've 
read (primarily from Pete Wilson in the netscape.public.mozilla.style 
newsgroup), there's a little bit of implementation.

I think they have -moz-user-focus and friends implemented, but you have 
to write your own focus and keypress handlers.  A message from Pete from 
2.5 months ago:

"""
I'm using build 2002022103 Windows. I have -moz-user-focus,
-moz-user-select working but can't get -moz-user-input
or -moz-user-modify to do anything. -moz-user-input does not display a
caret when it has the focus.
however, I believe this is mostly work in progress.

An hour's playing around with these new CSS3 features has gotten me a
very respectable syntax colored, folding XML viewer which could form the
basis for a fairly capable editor.
 From what I can deduce these elements are receiving the focus and
respond to mouse events. I have not yet tried
keyboard events.
