Other information
This feature preserves the sticky user activation state after a page navigates to another same-origin page. The lack of user activation in the post-navigation page prevents some use cases like showing virtual keyboards on auto-focus, and this has been a blocker for the developers who want to build MPAs over SPAs.

We're positive on this, but need to review the spec PR still. The earlier variant wasn't dealing with BFCache.
(Positive standards-position does not mean the spec is ready to ship)
