Re: Orca My experiences with FireFox 3.0 and

[Erik Heil <eheil sdf lonestar org>]

Hi their.  Can someone sum up the experiences using the current Firefox 
3.0 with the latest Orca checked out of SVN?  If I would have some input 
though, I would recomend something similar to a virtual buffer. i.e. the 
page content is rendered.  I do know for a fact that Firefox exposes 
enough of the DOM tree to make this possible.  Is something for Orca being 
planned?  Reason why I ask is that if its not, we should try and come up 
with the best way to navigate page content.  Failure to do this may 
present problems in the long run.  So what are your thoughs and concerns? 
Would be interested to know.
