Perfect!    What a mouthful though! That is longer than my last name.  :-)

Rich, James,

I looked into Apple's online documentation regarding readable/writable
values.  I found this page, specifically the section " Overriding
Methods to Support Attributes":
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Accessibility/cocoaAXSupportingAttributes/cocoaAXSupportAttributes.html


Based on that, I suggest the Core-AAM replace occurrences of "AXValue
(not writable)" with:

"AXValue:  the accessibilityIsAttributeSettable method returns NO.",

  and "AXValue (writable)" with:

"AXValue:  the accessibilityIsAttributeSettable method returns YES.".

Would that satisfy you, Rich?  Is it accurate, James?

Hope that helps.
