Comment (by afercia):

 hi @florianziegler, your latest patch is 864 KB, it includes also `.rtl`
 and `.min` files, that's really not necessary.
 Please read the WordPress Core Handbook
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/working-with-patches/ Working
 With Patches]
 You should install the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook
 /installing-wordpress-locally/installing-via-svn/ latest WordPress
 development version via Subversion (SVN)] and then you should create your
 patches from the root directory of your WordPress SVN install.

 Please allow me to remember the point of this ticket is about to provide
 [http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20140916/G183 additional
 visual cues on focus for links or controls where color alone is used to
 identify them].

 Quoting @AccessibleJoe
 > Color alone cannot be the only indicator. For those who cannot perceive
 color changes, a secondary marker is required.

 So we need a marker, or "shape", or something (outline, border, arrow,
 whatever...) to clearly indicate focus besides color changes. Preserving
 aesthetics too, and that's the difficult part :)
