One issue that I couldn't find discussed on that page concerns the
performance of a DBus-based AT-SPI. As I remember, there were, initially,
performance concerns, which I hope have been addressed. This should also help
to prepare this infrastructure for the move to mobile devices, where resources
can be highly constrained - but even for netbook-type devices, these issues
can be expected to arise.
