This is not true. I agree that the a11y support could be better, but you should know the code better before you make claims like this. Simply speaking, OOo uses the a11y support from Java and so only supports tools built for it. If there was another platform independent standard OOo wanted to support there would be a lot to do in the code but even then we wouldn't need a complete rewrite. The problem on Windows is that there is no native a11y support. When MS needed support for MSOffice they paid 3rd party vendors to develop software tailored to it instead of creating a platform solution open for other products. OOo is not able to do the same but OTOH can't use the tools that are hand-carved for MSOffice.
