one more bit of IHB. I believe that the model we are working with is leading us to a general foundation by which you can make all applications more easily accessible with greater functionality than the current efforts.

I'm dead serious.

The current accessibility methods have been make the same mistakes as long as I've been disabled and they provide no more accessibility today than they did in the past and vendor still have to do a lot to their applications to make it work. If we do this right, we make it easier, we make it simpler, and we make it possible for any vendor to make their software verifiably accessible without any great expense or effort.

This is why I think this particular effort is important besides the minor point that it makes it possible for crips like me to use speech recognition and Emacs. it's kind of a big vision to take in but I think what I'm talking about will become visible as we make progress.
