Great!

For which Qt version is this planned?

Gunnar has written a new document which is a point-by-point description on 
which features would be need in Qt for bridging to AT-SPI. This will very 
propably be of great interest to you:

Thanks for the explanations. If you think that our overview of the Qt 
Accessible Architecture should include any of the points you mentioned, 
then we are happy to update it.

Gunnar has in the meantime improved his description of the Qt 
Accessibility Architecture, see

http://accessibility.kde.org/developer/qt.php

We were unsure whether to call it "Qt Accessibility Architecture", 
"QAccessible Architecture" or "Qt Accessibility Classes". Which name do 
you prefer?

If there are any other points that can be improved in

http://accessibility.kde.org/developer/qt.php or
http://accessibility.kde.org/developer/qtconnection.php

please let us know.

Olaf.
