This is covered in checkpoint 6.4:
1. Provide programmatic read access to user agent
user interface controls.
The checkpoint goes on to explain our preferred API "cascade",
namely:
- A W3C Recommendation (if applicable)
- A publicly documented API for communication with ATs.
Either one will work to satisfy the requirement.
