Hi, Pete. The proposed document accessible concept is close to DOM document. I'm not sure maybe there's a better name for it. This concept might make sense for AT because many methods (DOM oriented methods) called on the document are much faster than if they were called on some document child. One example was get_accChild that can return child accessible by uniqueID. Firefox doesn't implement get_accChild by uniqueId on non document accessible because it's slow. All caret/selection methods are fast on document accessible and slow on child accessible. If AT needs to get something within a document then it's preferable to do that on document accessible.
Theoretically anchorTarget is applicable to any document type, requirement is the URL should contain '#' pointing to element. For example, if you put ARIA role="application" on HTML body then document accessible has application role. Alex.
