Re: [g-a-devel] RFC: AtkText simplification (take 2)

[Mario Sanchez Prada <mario prada samsung com>]

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I'd just like to explicitly agree with the plan here.

Also, as I plan to continue working on my "removing the dependency on pango/gail from WebKitGTK+" patch this 
week, I will take this into account already by *not* implementing those deprecated methods and boundaries 
there, even if I already did for the WORD boundaries[1], since that will hopefully make patches smaller and 
simpler.

And perhaps it would be even worth it to first post a patch to "deprecate" those methods in WebKitGTK+ too, 
so we are left with just the "at" method and the START boundaries, and get that upstream before pushing the 
"no pango" patches, but I'm not entirely sure what would be better from the point of view of ATs.

Opinions?

Thanks,
Mario
