Obsolete pattern "focus"? #1256
Description
We have the pat-focus pattern. As far as I understand, the functionality can completely be replicated with pure CSS. Instead of adding focus classes on fields and fieldsets, we can use this selectors:
:focus {
/* selects an element, which is focused */
}
:has(:focus) {
/* selects an element where at least one of it's children is focused */
}
:focus-within {
/* same as above */
}
This question popped up while debugging a problem with pat-focus where it breaks pattern registration/scanning when used with pat-leaflet.

Yes, this is slowly happening whenever Daniel is touching something. But at the moment there is no value in making this a one time effort. I move this into Backlog.
