Re: Orca Braille support is gone in self voicing applications

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Hermann:

Our word choice of "self voicing" is definitely a bad one.  The meaning 
of "self voicing" in this case means that the application is saying "I 
know how to present myself to users, so leave it *all* {speech, braille, 
etc.} to me."

With some hacking, one might be able to get a braille-only module for 
Firefox.  However, I think the community's limited resources are better 
spent focusing on getting Firefox to work well with Orca rather than 
working on hybrid solutions.
