Thank you for the explanation. That sounds good.

Which would turn accessibility on by default for all users also in 
stable releases, right? I think we are still a few release cycles with 
testing away from that possibility. AT-SPI still slows down a system, 
uses RAM and can invoke bugs in various apps. Many ubuntu users have 
fairly modest systems, esp. when running a Live CD. So that's probably 
not going to fly at this point.
