Going once, going twice.... ?

I need to decide whether or not to delete the single-line state bit from 
the Eclipse API before April 30.

[Accessibility-ia2] Deprecation of IA2_STATE_SINGLE_LINE

The following is (slightly edited) from Carolyn, who is implementing IA2 
in Eclipse...

Back in the fall, Andres asked why IA2 provides both IA2_STATE_MULTI_LINE 
and  IA2_STATE_SINGLE_LINE state bits.

They would seem to be mutually exclusive, and having both takes up a 
precious bit in the 32-bit strip.
Is there ever a case where an object can be neither single-line nor 
multi-line?
Is there ever a case where an object can be both single-line and 
multi-line?

In the conversation on the ia2 list, Jamie said that he had never even 
noticed the single-line bit.

This is a possible source of error, for example if an application only 
notices and sets/clears the "single" bit, but the AT only looks at the 
"multi" bit.

The list discussion kind of ended with "oh well, whatever".

I propose deprecating IA2_STATE_SINGLE_LINE.  Any objections?
