Just my $.02 ... trying to add accessibility to a GUI model is like trying
to stuff a square peg into a round hole. I personally think it just does
not make sense to do this. It would be better to make an accessible version
of the same software, one being completely text based. The problem is in
the modality of how things are presented, invoked, prompted, etc. The two
modalities (text and graphical) are just to different.
