This is starting to look bad. Tables are not really accessible at all on MacOSX;
the only reason that cell contents get read in writer is that the focus moves
into the cell directly. Switch the document to read only (like in the online
help) and the only thing getting read is "empty table".
The reason for this is that the accessible table implementation on the mac does
not support the row and column attributes; and the reason for that is as far as
I can see is calc which has always 65536 rows and 1024 columns in a table.
Alas, the Mac accessibility attributes for columns and rows are an array of
child objects for each row/column. This immediately brings us into a memory
issue in calc, especially since listeners will be added to each of these.
The better alternative would be to make our tables into a "grid view" on the mac
side; alas that was only invented in MacOSX 10.5, which is later than our
baseline of 10.4.
I think this will need more implementation.
