I understand from our accessibility engineers in Beijing that most, but not 
all, of the Mozilla accessibility patches in our branch have made it back to 
CVS.  I'm sorry, I don't have a final percentage, or list of them.  Part of 
the issue is that we branched a while ago (1.7), and so a number of the 
patches need significant re-work.
