Peter,

This is for a change that I made but neglected to get CCC approval for.
The GNOME Accessibility Team requested a new PropertyChangeEvent
that is fired when the keyboard focus is changed in an HTML editor pane.

    /**
     * Constant used to indicate that a hypertext element has received focus.
     * The old value in the PropertyChangeEvent will be an Integer
     * representing the start index in the document of the previous element
     * that had focus and the new value will be an Integer representing
     * the start index in the document of the current element that has
     * focus.  A value of -1 indicates that an element did not have focus.
     * @see AccessibleHyperlink
     */
    public static final String ACCESSIBLE_HYPERTEXT_OFFSET =
        "AccessibleHypertextOffset";
