Steps to reproduce:

create the element <span tabindex="hello">...</span> and tried to focus it


Actual results:

the element with an obviously invalid tabindex was focused.


Expected results:

nothing, as the element should not be focusable

when using it on an element who is not focusable by default like span element it become only focusable on click but when using it on <a> without ahref it becomme focusable on click and keyboard navigation.
Furthermore there is the same problem when using tabindex with any value at all example :
<span tabindex>...</span>

From [1] it's clear that an non-integer (and thus invalid) "tabindex" value should be the same
than an unspecified value.


Currently it's like tabindex=0 for links/buttons/likely others and tabindex=-1 otherwise.

Instead of checking node name in nsGenericHTMLElement.

Attachment: Bug 1128054 - Part 2: Don't need to override TabIndexDefault in HTMLEmbedElement;

Given that the Element::TabIndexDefault returns -1 already.

Depends on D68208
