Hey guys, just sharing something I found.
Worth a read and a perfectly valid reason shy you should not use the attribute value pair. Read the reasoning here :)

You just need to make sure you create your own focus, hover, and active styles to make up for the missing outline. That's my opinion though, and I am a software engineer, not designer, so take my words with a grain of salt. ;D

22,805 PointsHey man. I agree. As long as it is contrasting in some kind of way, that should be okay. I think it is more that these subtleties are not normally included in peoples design and should be.
As far as design vs accessibility goes, it is the job of a good developer/designer to make sure the site is aesthetically pleasing and accessible to all. Kind of like ignoring some of the IE9 CSS conflicts, for example, would be a terrible thing to do as it then breaks the experience for anyone using that browser, or earlier.
