Here is some background one of today's topics:

About two years ago Microsoft asked for the addition of two methods to
IA2 which would be equivalent to UIA's IAccessibleEx::GetObjectForChild
and GetIAccessilbePair which translate back and forth between MSAA
objects (including simple elements) and UIA objects.  The proposed IA2
equivalent is:

IAccessibleSimple (or some other name like IAccessible2Ex)

// For this parent accessible, fetch a full accessible representing the
specified
// child simple element where the accessible has implemented IAccessible2
[propget] HRESULT objectForChild( [in] long childID, [out, retval]
IAccessible2 *accessible2 );

// For this accessible, fetch the parent accessible, childID pair
representing an equivalent simple element
[propget] HRESULT accessiblePair( [out] IAccessible * accessible, [out,
retval] long childID );
