The WAI page on User Agent Support for Accessibility
http://www.w3.org/WAI/Resources/WAI-UA-Support says about 10.4:

There are two pieces
1. older browsers (Netscape 2.0?) did not allow users to navigate into
form controls; 
2. older assistive technologies in trying to overcome this issue would
only navigate into form controls with content.

Note the use of the words "older", "did not" and "would only". This
clearly shows that WAI consider the requirement for this checkpoint to
be in the past tense. This should be enough to convince anyone.
