Hi folks, it might be intersting to compare the requirements that AT developers have from the DOM with the W3C Note about requirements for a component extension (i.e. plugin) interface - http://www.w3.org/TR/CX One of the assumptions is that a plugin can itself be asked to call a plugin - and the paralell in my mind is that an assitive technology might call the browser as if it were a plugin. Feedback from assistive technology developers on that document would also be useful.

I do understand that this is not part of DOM, but for a screen magnifier is an essential information. Maybe DOM could describe a way how to get rendering information. Maybe it would be possible to have another standard defining how the rendering engine is providing information to the outside world.
