One problem is, we rely on a number of improvements to Java 
accessibility that went into the 1.5 JVM (as well as fixes).  I don't 
know how fully the alternative VMs support the javax.accessibility 
classes, if at all.  Of course I hope that all the Java VMs support 
accessibility as its importance becomes more widely recognized.

That sounds great, thanks.  The nice thing about this option is that the 
end user doesn't have to download a new version of OpenOffice in the 
process, only the JVM.
