Fwd: [Architecture] News from TPAC

This note from Joseph points out some interesting cross browser a11y
work from Mozilla. I think this should make a simpler API as the a11y
tree is simpler than the DOM tree. I'm not sure how much modification
could be done through it; the platform a11y APIs have fairly limited
capabilities. Perhaps this could be useful for cognative adaptations

All,

W3C is holding face-to-face meetings in Japan this week (TPAC).  One
of the things presented and discussed within the ARIA group is
Mozilla's proposal for a script-based accessibility API for browsers.
I knew that Mozilla was working on this, but it looks like it has
progressed a bit.  FYI, here is a link to the documentation:
