Not in Mac OS X (for a command-tab)... this has the same behavior as  
XO. The selected application does not become the frontmost  
application until the command key is released. This lets the user  
back out part way through the process.

I don't know if it's already supported by XO but Mac OS X uses  
command ` (the tilde key above to tab key -- proximity is the  
important thing) to go back through the list of applications. It's a  
lot easier to type than shift/command/tab.
