[Kde-accessibility] Some AT-SPI questions

I've been looking into AT-SPI lately, and have some (very basic)
questions about writing an accessibility client that gathers
information from AT-SPI compliant applications (much like GOK).

So one way to do this is to use Atk, which I assume is what GOK is
using.  However, this page
(http://accessibility.kde.org/developer/atk.php) seems to indicate
that it can also be done with straight AT-SPI.  Is there any reason to
use Atk in a Qt application?

Also, is there anything similar to Inspect32 or AccExplorer for
AT-SPI?  Those apps are for Windows and allow you to explore the
accessibility interface for any application (screenshot of
AccExplorer: http://mushroomstamp.ca/stuff/accexplorer.png )   Very
useful for development.

Thanks,
Leo
