What the API can't do:
-
address basic application usability problems
-
fix broken keyboard navigation (easily)
-
expose information that the application fails to provide at all
-
work in the absence of some kind of AT
However, the API does:
-
provide a consistent point of entry
-
provide something to log accessibility bugs against
-
simplify AT implementation and development
-
reduce need for scripting/special casing in AT
-
make it easy for applications to improve their accessibility
-
provide the basis for a Unix / GNU/Linux "standard"
-
eliminate need for ATs to patch for different OS and application versions.
