yelp accessibility for people with disabilities

[Lynn Monsanto <Lynn Monsanto Sun COM>]

Hi all,

I'm working on Orca, a screen reader and magnifier for people with 
disabilities (see http://live.gnome.org/Orca).  I'm working on 
accessibility to yelp, and discovered that yelp uses mozilla to present 
help information.  A screen reader like Orca works by speaking the 
contents of the desktop component that has keyboard focus.  In the case 
of yelp, Orca speaks the help information displayed by mozilla.

Yelp currently has some accessibility problems that it shares with 
Firefox.  We are working with the Firefox team to fix the accessibility 
problems in Firefox 3. It would be great if the Firefox fixes also fix 
some (or all) of the accessibility problems in yelp.  This would occur 
is yelp shares the same mozilla libraries that Firefox uses.  Could 
someone enlighten me about the relationship between the mozilla that 
Firefox uses compared to mozilla that yelp uses.

Thanks!
