The one issue this doesn't solve is that of making room around the view to draw the focus ring. If one or more edges of the view are flush with the edge of the window, the exterior ring looks ugly.

In the past, I've sometimes taken the approach of drawing the focus ring *inside* the view. (Use the view bounds rect, inset by 1.0, to draw the focus ring, and don't lock focus on the superview, of course.) It looks pretty good -- it's slightly transparent so it doesn't obscure the content much. However, with this approach, there's apparently no way to take advantage of the spiffy new Lion methods for focus rings. It's also less than ideal during an inertial scroll "bounce".

I think you also need to force an update when the app is deactivated. The window is still the key window, but the focus ring shouldn't be drawn.
