 Seems to me we shouldn't be doing that at the global level at all and just
 setting it to none in more specific cases we don't want the outline.
 div:focus probably doesn't need it, for instance, if it even gets it in
 the first place. Then the browser does its thing for everything else.

 permalink" tabindex="-1">.../?page_id=2</span>

 #21340 - perhaps we should reopen with a comment about that?

 > Further: with a overlay screen like "Choose a Featured Image", the focus
 stays in the page it self and doesn't move to the overlay.

 Not sure we have a ticket specifically about this - I couldn't find one.
 May be worth opening one, although do no note that the media overlays are
 completely new in 3.5, and we do have some specific work being done for
 this cycle on #21283 for the customizer.
