    # To subscribers of the xforms list from "T.C. Zhao" <tc_zhao@yahoo.com> :

    Typilcally when an input object loses focus, most toolkit keys on that to
    activate the callback (say you have two fields, A and B, when you switch the
    focus from A to B, it makes sense to call A's callback). It's certainly
    debatable if closing the form should cause a focus change.
