"If the tooltip is invoked when the trigger element receives focus, then it is dismissed when it no longer has focus (onBlur). If the tooltip is invoked with mouseIn, then it is dismissed with on mouseOut." https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#tooltip
This could be clearer to outline the following use case:
Following the authoring practices, this could be interpreted to mean that the tooltip would hide despite the fact that the triggering element has focus.
That should either be stated more explicitly or changed such that the tooltip is always visible if the triggering element has either focus or mouse hover. If changed in this way, then step 3 above would keep the tooltip open since the triggering element has focus despite the mouse out event.
