Hello WebKit,

James and I have been working on a W3C proposal to address some shortcomings 
we've noticed in terms of dealing with ScreenReaders and magnifiers in the wild 
wild web. 

It's aim is to add JavaScript capabilities to window.navigator and new 
AccessibilityEvents so that web developers are able to make web pages that 
interact with assistive technology to a degree they cannot today.

If you're interested in accessibility, please take a look and send any feedback 
to us, or to these w3c lists (wai-xtech, www-dom, public-canvas-api, and 
public-html-comments) it was posted to


User Interface Independence for Accessible Rich Internet Applications

W3C Proposal: 30 August 2010

PS:
I had originally submitted a patch for half of this proposal, but we decided it 
would be best to make this public before landing it in webkit.
