[Accessibility] Two diffferent ATK implementations for HTML document structures

[Catherine Laws]

Here is a document that discusses 2 different ways that HTML document
structure and elements could be exposed in Firefox using ATK. The first
approach exposes a structure that more closely matches the HTML DOM, with
all text exposed at deeper leaf/child levels with more empty content
containers showing the hierarchy of the document structure. The second
approach takes greater advantage of the Hypertext interface by exposing
plain text at higher container levels with UNICODE characters representing
embedded child objects, both non-text and textual, that require additional
ATK interface implementations, such as images and relationships.

We can discuss the pros and cons of these two approaches by email and at
the FSG AT-SPI teleconference tomorrow, Wednesday, March 1, being held in
place of the regular FSG accessibility call (at 2 PM EST).

Janina, are you sending out the meeting notice for tomorrow?
