It's too bad we don't have cross-UA mutation/object observers. But so
a Promise might indeed be the best thing for dealing with focus, instead
of setTimeouts.

Having JS determine focus instead of whatever browser default there is
can be desireable in cases where users (all of them) expect to stay in
the same page position even when new content loads (so long as it isn't
loading far away from current-position).
