Note to checkpoint 5.5: This checkpoint is designed to promote the use of APIs which provide efficient exchange of information between user agents and assistive technologies. Notably in multi-tasking operating systems this requires the ability to access the DOM and other Accessibility APIs in process. In process communication eliminates the time delays which occur with out-of-process communication between applications. The time delays can result in slower response to user actions or potentially the user missing important information.
