I also find the auto-advancing form fields annoying and recommend avoiding
it. I can't find the exact location in WCAG but I thought it recommended
that if you use this sort of feature to warn the users before hand. Makes
sense to me. I often end up hitting the TAB button and wind up 2 form
fields ahead and have to go back to correct my mistakes.
