No particular reason. The spec text is identical; just the name of the

There's two methods in the HTML spec, drawSystemFocusRing(element) and
drawCustomFocusRing(element). It's not clear to me that the name
"drawFocusIfNeeded()" is an improvement on either. In particular, I can't
tell which it's replacing, nor what the other would be called if we
followed the same naming scheme.
The WHATWG spec is going to follow browsers, but that doesn't mean that
the new name is necessarily better. If it was, I would have updated the
spec already instead of waiting for multiple UAs to do something else.
So, which other UAs have so far agreed on which names? I don't think we
should ship the API unless there is a name for it that everyone agrees on.
