That was very informative, thank you.  Another question:

Why is it necessary to have an explicit accessibility API at all?
Can't this be made transparent to the developer?  I mean, does someone
programming a GNOME app really want to worry about a whole new API, on
top of all those other libs?  I guess the situation is sort of similar
to i18n and that it isn't actually that painful...
