I'm knowing some blinds. And they are all missing such lists. This lists
making navigation on HTML much easier.

Okay, I will do this tomorrow. Because I have to create the patch first.
Currently the script is written with/for Orca 2.30.2 on Ubuntu 10.04.

On my system it needs ~ 2 - 5 seconds.

http://live.gnome.org/Orca: ~2 seconds
http://www.yahoo.de/ (don't know why the times differs): ~2-5 seconds

Yahoo! has really many links and form fields.

I'm not very familiar with this at-spi stuff. 90 % of the script was
written with experiments in Accerciser and some examples from Orca. So
it's possible that there is place for speed improvements.
