Hi their.  I totally aggre with you their.  API's and actually screen 
readers are totally different.  API's can be a good thing, but it depends 
on how rich in accessibility they provide.  A poor implementation example 
is the MSAA libs.  Once fully realized, the current Gnome GTK and ATK 
bridge modules provide for a much richer abstraction of GUI elements.  BIf 
developed under the new API, some of the accessibility traits are 
automatically inherrited though.
