Understood.  I think it should be a requirement to get the bindings in 
for GNOME 2.20, and have accerciser be the poster child for their use, 
though.  LSR, Orca, Dogtail, and LDTP could eventually migrate to them 
for GNOME 2.22.

The main concern is that it is a funky zip file pulling sources from 
somewhere else.  BTW, I know you know this, but I'm not sure outsiders 
know: I definitely don't denigrate or try to put barriers in the way of 
LSR.  We (Orca and LSR) are just two different projects and there's no 
need for us to fight right now.  We need to keep working together to 
achieve common goals such as official Python bindings for AT-SPI.

Thanks!
