Re: [g-a-devel]Activate action for TreeView cell

[Marc Mulcahy <marc mulcahy sun com>]

I understand your objections Michael-- but the use case I'm thinking of is 
that screen readers, for example, receive a focus event and immediately 
grab the name of an object in order to speak something useful about 
it.  Requiring an AT to always query for a text interface and then call 
getContents on it seems a bit much.  I don't have strong feelings either 
way, so...
