OK. Is this clearer: 6.7 Support assistive technology accessibility standards defined for plug-in and virtual machine systems used by your browser. [priority 1] For example, Sun defines a mechanism for loading and running and running a assistive technology in its Java virtual machine. If the user agent supports Java applets and provides a Java Virtual Machine to run it, the user agent should support the proper loading and operation of a Java native assistive technology. This assistive technology can now be used to provide access to the applet as defined by Sun's Java accessibility standards. It may be that plug-ins, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, may define similar accessibility conventions in the future. Note: the techniques document supplies example code for loading assistive technologies in Java.
