Clarify behavior of element.focus( { focusVisible: false } )

[woody-li]

What is the issue with the HTML Standard?

In current specification:

If the value of the focusVisible dictionary member of options is true, or is not present but in an implementation-defined way the user agent determines it would be best to do so, then indicate focus.

It doesn't contain the behavior when focusVisible is false.
When element isn't :focus-visible the focus skip indicates focus.

But when element is in :focus-visible state, and call focus( { focusVisible: false } ). Should it switch from :focus-visible to :focus?

I have a case that user uses the keyboard TAB key to focus, then uses the mouse to move and hover interactively.
Expected to hide the focus ring (outline) but don't change the focus element.

I tried to call focus( { focusVisible: false } ), but no effect.

I think the specification is very clear. False has no effect.
