I think we should expose the native focus/blur events to the web client. While you can get around by setting a listener to the corresponding events in the DOM's document window, this feels more technically correct as there is no guarantee that there is a 1:1 correspondence between the two events. Additionally, this is more resilient to edge cases that may arise around iframes and such.
