Re: CORE-AAM: identifying MSAA/IA2 actions, interfaces, and relations.

Hi Alex,

A followup.

We have gone through all the role values and added interfaces as
appropriate.  However, the ATK/AT-SPI interface Selection is implemented
for certain roles, and we thought there was a similar
"IAccessibleSelection" interface for IAccessible2.  But, we could not
find any in the IA2 docs [1].  Is there one?

For comparison, see the ATK/AT-SPI entries listed below:
-
https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/ACTION-2126/core-aam/core-aam.html#role-map-grid
-
https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/ACTION-2126/core-aam/core-aam.html#role-map-listbox
-
https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/ACTION-2126/core-aam/core-aam.html#role-map-menu
-

-
https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/ACTION-2126/core-aam/core-aam.html#role-map-tablist
-

Thanks.
