but the point is that they are different browsers so should not look the same in jaws. When I used real player it was vastly different from windows media player and so on but this is off topic I guess. If I want IE, I'll use IE. If I want ff, I should be able to use ff not some transform to IE.

Actually they have different feature sets. JAWS 10 and Firefox 3 support ARIA live regions, but the current version of IE does not, for example.

But the point of IAccessible2 isn't to try to be different to IE; it's to have a reusable standard for exposing content and functionality, rather than having to hack it a-new for every application and platform.

IE8's adoption of ARIA is a Good Thing from that perspective.
