[Rwp] Slightly OT but maybe GREAT news about accessability

[Chris Belle]

I heard about this over on midimag.

We'll have to see how it goes.

The issue mostly these days is that developer tools that can write cross 
platform
ie, both mac and windows can be made a lot more accessible but no dev 
wants to code their stuff twice.

So these third party dev tools don't do it in a way which promotes the 
accessibility
so we're left screen-scraping.
instead of having programming objects to get hold of.

So I'm just really curious how this thing is gonna work to get hold of 
information when there are no programatical
objects exposed,
well, you know someplace along the line.
that pretty picture turns in to an instruction set, and issues a command,
so maybe the found a way.
