+          If the user interface includes an additional icon that allows the visibility of the popup to be controlled via pointer and touch events, authors SHOULD ensure that element has role <rref>button</rref>, that it is focusable but not included in the page <kbd>Tab</kbd> sequence, and that it is not a descendant of the element with role <code>combobox</code>.
           In addition, to be keyboard accessible, authors SHOULD provide keyboard mechanisms for moving focus between the <code>combobox</code> element and elements contained in the popup.
           For example, one common convention is that <kbd>Down Arrow</kbd> moves focus from the input to the first focusable descendant of the popup element.
           If the popup element supports <pref>aria-activedescendant</pref>, in lieu of moving focus, such keyboard mechanisms can control the value of <pref>aria-activedescendant</pref> on the <code>combobox</code> element.
           When a descendant of the popup element is active, authors MAY set <pref>aria-activedescendant</pref> on the <code>combobox</code> to a value that refers to the active element within the popup while focus remains on the <code>combobox</code> element.
