web browsing and section 508 under linux

[David Poehlman]

It is my understanding that at some point, jaws and window eyes will  
support firefox.  It is also my understanding that a current beta of  
we works somewhat with window eyes.  The problem is that when you  
build a cross platform app to work with windows, it's hard to get  
things to work together.
