Keyboard focus only

Forgive me if this has already been discussed -- I scanned the archives and didn't see it: What are your general thoughts on applying focus only when keyboard use is detected? Paul Adam (who I've seen on this list) made a demo:

In other words, mouse users would never see the focus. At first blush, this seems like a good way to make both keyboard users and web designers happy. Am I missing something?
