[Rwp] Slightly OT Isotope Plug-ins

[Chris Smart]

Hey onlineeagle - not sure what your name is there - please don't 
jump to conclusions or send them a snarky email! iZotope, at one 
time, did more than any other plug-in manufacturer to make their 
stuff accessible. I don't mean just exposing parameters to Sonar or 
Reaper, I mean making large parts of the UI for Ozone 
accessible.  They are definitely allies, at least higher up. This 
particular tech support person is probably new there, so has no idea 
this work was done.  Ask Phil Muir about this as well - he was around 
back then.

For those of you contacting iZotope, please try to remain calm and 
respectful when reporting the problem.

If we could get accessibility work restarted on their end, a lot of 
good could be done.
