For the past year the FSGA/GAP has been concentrating on better document
navigation, and there is still some outstanding implementation to do.
Progress on GNU/Linux is important since ODF has given accessibility
more media attention.  Let's get the AT-SPI/ATK interfaces rich and
mature first before venturing off to re-tool which could cause
regression.

Also, OMG designed Corba to bridge to other ecosystems; therefore, for
the near term we should continue with the KDE to AT-SPI solution in
order to concentrate on the above.  The media is not looking at the
semantics of library dependencies; therefore, the completeness of
accessibility for the end-user is what is really important to GNU/Linux
and not the obscure implementation details.
