Re: FW: [g-a-devel] AT-SPI, focus leaving and window IDs

Dave's situation isn't all that unusual. My daughter listens to her music, 
both cds which I've converted into files and radio stations, via computer. 
Even if she's willing to put up with some distraction, she has severe 
developmental disabilities and explaining to her why would be just about 
impossible.

Since i haven't got gnopernicus working yet, except for one time a couple 
of years ago, it's not a problem yet, but this is just to illustrate that 
this can be a real issue.

I agree with Dave that each accessibility method should be as independent 
as possible of the others. To be able to use braille but to need speech 
for some things wouldn't be helpful to those who can't use speech and 
braille at the same time or have significant hearing problems or are deaf. 
the same would be true of being able to use speech for most things but 
having some features braille-dependent. the goal is to make the system 
fully accessible to braille users and speech users, and for those who can 
benefit from both, that's great too.
