<tt>Hi Rich!<br>
<br>
In the meantime I had a look at Trolltech's D-Bus sources and have started to <br>
compare them with the IAccessible2 and AT-SPI APIs.<br>
<br>
My first impression is that there is a very large common set of APIs that is <br>
shared by all three, some APIs that are individual to only one of the three, <br>
and some APIs that are missing on one of the three.<br>
<br>
If this is true, then I am concerned myself, but it is more likely that I did <br>
not fully and correctly understand the IAccessible2 approach.<br>
<br>
I am waiting for Trolltech to answer my questions before I publish the <br>
comparision.<br>
<br>
