Looking at both sites with Accerciser and firefox 3.5.8, the big note
areas happen to be of ATK_ROLE_DOCUMENT_FRAME. In other words, they're
basically claiming to be web pages. Granted, they do each have
ATK_STATE_EDITABLE, and we might could work that into Orca's definition
of "things that are entries". But it would be neat if objects which are
entries were of ATK_ROLE_ENTRY or ATK_ROLE_TEXT.

I'll look for the Mozilla a11y guys this week and see if I can get an
answer out of them as to why the above is the case.

In the meantime, would you mind doing me a favor and filing a bug about
this in GNOME's bugzilla? (bonus points for keyword 'accessibility' and
blocks '404403'. <smile>)

Thanks! Take care.
