In the polyfill, keydown event and mouseup event are used for the spatial navigation.
I'm curious to see if there is a great case for leveraging a keydown event as apposed to a keyup event. Keyboard users who may have mobility/dexterity type disabilities could benefit from an event that they have more control over the timing of it being fired. e.g. someone with tremors using a keyboard.
Browser manufacturers may be looking to the polyfill for guidance and I was interested in seeing if maybe a keyup event could be the default vs requiring an override.

(should clearly extend to keyboard events IMO)
